California News Anchor Lands New Job At CT Station

CONNECTICUT — Bridgette Bjorlo, an award-winning anchor and reporter who covered news in northern California for years, recently landed a new job in Connecticut.

Bjorlo announced on social media platform X she had joined the news team at Fox 61, where she made her Connecticut television debut Thursday.

She will co-anchor the 6 p.m. news starting in March, according to her post.

On Feb. 1, Bjorlo announced on Facebook she was leaving Sacramento, Calif., after "five incredible years," where she worked for ABC 10.

"I never planned to stay in one city this long," Bjorlo wrote on Facebook, "but shortly after I came here in January 2019, northern California stole my heart. I will miss it, and all of you, as I take this next step in my career."

Fox 61 shared news of Bjorlo's new position Thursday and officially welcomed her to their team.

The segment noted she is "a tri-state native" who attended Rutgers University in New Jersey and received her graduate's degree from Columbia University in New York.

"It feels full circle, it feels like a homecoming," Bjorlo said during the segment. "I'm back where my family is, I'm back where the roots are and, let's be real here, the good food."
