Val Warner - Bloginfo
Val’s first professional experience began in 1994, when she began working behind the scenes at KGTV, where she spent the last three years of her college career, gaining expertise and perfecting her trade. She worked as a fill-in anchor and reporter for KBIM in Roswell and KRQE in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after graduating from college. She began anchoring and reporting for the morning program at KSNT-TV in Topeka, Kansas, a year later, where she remained until 2000.
She then moved to WEYI-TV in Flint, Michigan, where she worked as a reporter and lead nighttime anchor for five years, until 2005. In the same year, she relocated to Chicago, Illinois, and began co-anchoring and reporting on traffic for WGN-“Morning TV’s News.” From July 2005 to 2011, she held this job. She also hosted the 5 a.m. program and covered a variety of popular themes, including politics and money. She also did celebrity interviews and co-hosted the “Mommy Test” part of the “Morning Show” for a while. She was also in charge of interviewing participants in WGN’s “News at Nine” “Teacher of the Month” program.
ABC 7’s arrival
Val left WGN-TV after more than five years to work as a reporter and anchor for ABC 7. Her career move resulted from a successful audition for the co-hosting role on ABC 7’s new morning conversation and entertainment show, “Windy City LIVE.” Val now co-hosts the said show on ABC 7 every weekday at 1 p.m., covering a wide range of issues and conducting interviews with celebrities from all walks of life. The show debuted on May 26, 2011, and has been running ever since.
A Prominent Host
Val has had the pleasure of conversing with some of the most prominent US celebrities, including former first lady, Michelle Obama, on November 13th, 2018, primarily because Michelle was about to release her new book, entitled “Becoming,” at Michelle’s alma mater Whitney Young Magnet High School in Chicago. The interview is divided into three sections, the first of which includes an in-depth discussion of Obama’s motivation for writing the new book.
