John Seibel Named WDTN Dayton Evening News Co-Anchor

Nexstar-owned NBC affiliate WDTN Dayton, Ohio, has appointed John Seibel evening co-anchor. He will take over the role from Mark Allan, who’s retiring on Sept. 2 after more than 25 years at WDTN.

“John knows the Miami Valley and its people well, having grown up here,” said Joe Abouzeid, WDTN vice president-general manager. “He loves it here and is committed to our community. We are thrilled to have him anchor our afternoon and evening newscasts.”

Seibel joined the WDTN team in 2014 as co-anchor of 2 News Today. He’s shared the anchor desk with Lauren Wood since 2017.

Seibel will be joined by Brooke Moore and meteorologist Brian Davis beginning Monday, Sept. 6, to co-anchor 2 News First at 4. He’ll also co-anchor Five on 2 as well as 2 News at 6, 10 and 11.
