Wilmington, DE
“First,” WHYY-TV’s Delaware newsmagazine, is hosted by three charismatic celebs: Tom Byrne, Bill Cook and Stephanie Aldrich. No disrespect to Byrne and Cook—we admire them, too—but Aldrich has it, that intangible quality that makes a great TV person. Maybe it’s her slight Southern twang or the way she makes difficult topics easy to understand. Aldrich’s experience as a television news writer, editor, producer, reporter and anchor has included stops in Texas, West Virginia and New York. We’re glad she has settled here.
