PROVIDENCE – Kelly Johnston has been named news director at WLNE-TV ABC 6.
Chris Tzianabos, the station’s vice president and general manager, said Johnston worked for ABC 6 from 1999 to 2013, when she left to be home with her young children.
She started her career at the station as a graphics producer, then CG operator, switching to news in 2005, becoming a producer. She was later promoted to senior producer.
“I am excited to welcome Kelly back to the family as news director, and I am confident she will be successful in bringing fresh ideas and a continued competitive spirit to ABC6 News,” Tzianabos said.
Johnston, of Barrington, is a native Rhode Islander and a Brown University graduate. She said she is happy to return to ABC 6, “serving Southern New England by delivering the news that matters to all of us.”
