Broadcast Journalist Dennis House Returns To CT Television

CONNECTICUT — Veteran television news journalist Dennis House will return to Connecticut airwaves in mid-January when he starts a new job at WTNH-TV, the Hartford Courant reported Monday.

In his new role, House will be WTNH-TV's chief political anchor. He will host a Sunday morning politics show and fill in as an anchor, according to the Courant.

House, who contracted the coronavirus this month, left his previous news job at WFSB-TV in the summer. His wife, WFSB-TV's Kara Sundlun, also contracted the coronavirus; both are fatigued and Sundlun has mild flu-like symptoms.

The two are isolating at home away from their children, who have tested negative for the virus, according to House. Friday also was his birthday, which he celebrated with some ice cream as his kids sang him "Happy Birthday" from a distance.

In addition to joining Channel 8, House is also slated to begin a visiting fellow position at the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford in January, teaching digital media.

House was with WFSB-TV for more than 25 years and met Sundlun at the station.
