Wolfram has also hosted a popular HGTV program where she shared her enthusiasm for interior decorating, DIY tasks, and home improvement tips.
Robin Wolfram gave up her career in television seven years ago when she returned to Iowa to take care of her parents. However, she has now decided to return to the media industry as an evening anchor.
Wolfram will be joined by one of the area’s most experienced broadcasters, James Wilcox, on the evening news.
Wilcox is the station’s newly named managing editor. He anchors ABC 6 News at 5:00 p.m. and co-anchors ABC 6 News at 6:00 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 10:00 p.m. with Laura Lee.
