Longtime Columbus news anchor Stacia Naquin is coming back to the city to anchor for Tegna owned CBS affiliate WBNS in late July.

Naquin worked at WSYX in Columbus anchoring for ABC 6 and also Fox 28. She left in January to join the Statehouse press corps for WKYC in Cleveland.

“Central Ohio is home,” Naquin said in the press release. “I am both grateful and excited to join the 10TV team. What an honor to work alongside incredible journalists in a legacy newsroom that is devoted to and cares for this community.”

“Stacia’s return to Columbus media is truly a homecoming,” said Rick Rogala, president and general manager of WBNS. “She’s a trusted community figure with an extraordinary ability to connect with people and deliver stories that matter. We’re thrilled to welcome her back to Central Ohio to serve our community with journalism that informs, empowers, and protects.”

Before working in Columbus, she worked as an anchor in Phoenix, Colorado Springs, Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma.

In June, we reported that former WRAL anchor Jeff Hogan is joining the Columbus, Ohio CBS affiliate station as evening anchor.
