New Anchor Teams at WREG Memphis

Tribune Media’s CBS affiliate WREG Memphis (DMA 51), welcomes one new face and adds anchor responsibilities to a familiar one. Veteran newsman Greg Hurst joins the primetime news lineup, and Meteorologist Todd Demers becomes the permanent anchor on Daybreak, a role he has been filling on an interim basis since December.

Greg Hurst joins Stephanie Scurlock on the 5, 6, and 10 p.m. news starting on July 3. Before joining WREG, he spent 10 years as an anchor at WABC New York, and was most recently the primary anchor at KHOU Houston.  His broadcast career started in Little Rock.

Demers officially joins Markova Reed on the anchor desk from 4:30 to 7 a.m. weekdays, where he’s been filling in since December. He will continue to pull double duty, working at the weather desk too. According to the station, he is the longest-serving morning meteorologist in Memphis, joining WREG in 1986.  Demers has been on Daybreak since WREG launched the show.
