CT TV Station Announces New Morning News Anchor

Connecticut's newest TV morning news anchor comes with one heck of an impressive bio. She's an Olympic medalist in swimming, was recently inducted into her high school's sports hall of fame, and is a Connecticut native.

Fox 61 has added Margaux Farrell to its morning news team as a weekday morning anchor. Several people congratulated Farrell on the promotion but several folks also asked who was leaving.

And in even better news for fans of the Fox morning news broadcast, no one is leaving, Farrell said.

If you're not familiar with Farrell, you can follow her on her Twitter feed, where she is very entertaining and often light-hearted.

One fan posted, "CT is grateful to have Margaux Farrell on Fox 61 for years to come!#HomegrownTalent #AStarIsBorn." Another viewer said, "Awesomeness and congratulations!!! You are specifically one of the main reasons we watch fox61 in the am. My wife and I both watch to see what you are up to!!!"
