Elliot Grandia will move to the 6am-9am spot at WXMI-TV.
Elliot Grandia, who started at Scripps-owned Fox affiliate WXMI Grand Rapids, Mich., in January, will be able to sleep a little later. Beginning Aug. 8, he will join co-anchor Tessa DiTirro weekdays at 6-9 a.m. on Fox 17 Morning News. Previously he anchored from 4:30 to 6 a.m.
“Elliot brings a refreshing energy and positivity to our viewer’s mornings,” said Dan Boers, WXMI news director. “He grew up in West Michigan — graduated from Rockford and Michigan State University — and has a real connection to what’s important in our community. He’s just as comfortable in the studio as in the field. You’ll continue seeing him in your community telling your stories weekly.”
