WJLA Anchor Maureen Bunyan Knighted

Allbritton Communications’ ABC affiliate WJLA Washington (DMA 8) news anchor Maureen Bunyan has been knighted and inducted into The Order of Orange-Nassau, a Dutch civic order. The Order of Orange-Nassau is a chivalric honor given to those who deserve recognition for exemplary contributions to society. Bunyan was born in Aruba, which is part of the Dutch Kingdom.

“Maureen does so much for so many people here in the DC region it is hard to believe that she has time left over to devote to projects in Aruba” says WJLA General Manager Bill Lord. “We’re all very proud that Maureen is part of the ABC7 family and we congratulate her on this outstanding achievement.”

Bunyan is a 44-year veteran of television news who anchors the 6 o’clock weeknight newscasts.
