Wendy Rieger Celebrates a Milestone at NBC4

SAG-AFTRA member and Channel 4 anchor Wendy Rieger celebrated her 25th year with the station on March 21, 2013. A Virginia native, she started as a radio journalist before being hired on at NBC4 as a television reporter. She was then promoted to the 5 p.m. anchor 11 years ago. As the Washington Post reported, Rieger “quickly developed a loyal fan base with her free-wheeling personality and ability to give the impression that she’s having a ball.” Read the full Washington Post article from March 22, 2013.
