WDBJ Roanoke Launching ‘Here @ Home’ On Sept. 12

Gray Television’s CBS affiliate WDBJ Roanoke, Va., is introducing a new local program, Here @ Home, at 3 p.m. on Sept. 12 that will be hosted by Natalie Faunce, Kate Capodanno and meteorologist Catherine Maxwell.

France is a familiar face to WDBJ viewers, having worked in many different roles in media over the past 15 years. Capodanno has been with WDBJ since 2019 and anchors the 5:30, 6:30, 10 and 11 p.m. newscasts, while Maxwell is the station’s newest meteorologist, having joined WDBJ earlier this year after being named weathercaster of the year in West Virginia.

Here @ Home is an hour-long local newscast that it says “will take a deeper dive into issues that matter.” Matt Pumo, WDBJ regional VP/general manager, said: “This is something we’ve been wanting to do for a while and with Natalie, Kate and Catherine this is the perfect time to produce local content that … impacts us daily.”

With the addition of Here @ Home, WDBJ says it will produce more local news and content than any other entity in the market.
