WBAL-TV today named veteran in-house anchor-reporter Deborah Weiner and newcomer Ashley Hinson as replacements for Donna Hamilton, whose last newscast was Wednesday night after 23 years at the station.
Weiner will join Stan Stovall as co-anchor of the 6 and 11 p.m. weeknight newscasts, while Hinson, who comes to Baltimore from WPTV in West Palm Beach, will team with Andre Hepkins to anchor the 5 p.m. weeknight newscasts on WBAL-TV.
Hinson, who will join the station in July, will also team with Hepkins to co-anchor “WBAL-TV 11 News at 10 p.m.” on the station’s digital channel 11-2, also known as MeTV Baltimore.
Weiner, who has been with the station since 2002, will begin her new anchor desk duties immediately. She will continue covering Maryland politics, as well as enterprise and investigative reports, according to Dan Joerres, station general manager.
