Brown will continue producing WCCO's "Good Question" during the evening news.
"As someone who worked at WCCO for a long time and then got the chance to step up and anchor a show, it's so encouraging to see another great reporter and colleague get the chance to shine," DeRusha wrote on Facebook. "We have great people here. Heather Brown is going to be a terrific addition to MidMorning - I can't wait!"
