WMCT-TV announced today that they have hired Alycia Brandt as the new News Director and Marlborough This Week anchor. Alycia has a strong writing background and has interned at WCVB Channel 5 and WMUR in Manchester, NH.
“We’re very happy to have Alycia on board and we look forward to seeing her in action,” said Executive Director, Dan Guindon.
Alycia just started as a freelancer with WMCT not long before former News Director, Kristen Doucet moved on to Charter TV3 in Worcester.
“Anytime you have to replace someone like (Doucet) it’s not easy. She’s been around for 5 years and people get used to seeing her,” continued Guindon, “but I’m confident that they will really like Alycia.”
Brandt takes over News Director duties on March 5th. Marlborough This Week will return Friday, March 9th.
