The talent switch comes as longtime evening anchor Nicole Boone announced her retirement from the desk to become the station’s special events anchor.
“We are delighted to welcome Annette Peagler to the WBTW News team. We’re fortunate to be able to hire someone with Annette’s experience and track record of community involvement,” said WBTW vp and gm Jeff West.
