Dan Kennedy will join Atlanta NBC affiliate WXIA as morning weekend anchor and reporter.

This is a move from within Tegna for Kennedy who anchors evenings at WVEC in Norfolk, Virginia.

“Dan has an impressive track record of impactful journalism that showcases his deep commitment to the communities he serves,” said Denisha Thomas, 11Alive news director. “His ability to tell compelling stories—whether breaking news or personal moments—makes him the perfect fit for our team. We’re excited to have Dan’s passion for journalism and his dedication to delivering the news that matters most to metro Atlanta audiences.”

Before working at WVEC, Kennedy worked as an anchor and reporter in Tennessee at WTVF Nashville and WRCB in his hometown of Chattanooga.

“I am beyond excited to join the talented team at 11Alive News and to call Atlanta home. I look forward to connecting with the community, earning their trust, and reporting the big stories with context and perspective,” said Kennedy.

Kennedy’s first day at 11Alive will be January 27, 2025.
