Erica Edwards tabbed to replace Justice as KOAM anchor

Erica Edwards has been named Dowe Quick's new co-anchor on KOAM's 5, 6, and 10 p.m.newscasts. The announcement was made tonight at the conclusion of the 10 p.m. newscast, as Rhonda Justice, co-anchor for the past three years said her goodbyes.
According to her bio on the KOAM website:

Erica Edwards comes to us from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Erica earned her undergraduate degree from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh with a B.A. in Journalism. She interned for CBS, New York, in the news productions department, and worked on a documentary about mediums, which aired on cable channel A & E. Erica also interned at WTAE in Pittsburgh.

She thinks the Four States are a great place because "the people are so kind and laid back."


KOAM said goodbye to Ms. Justice with the traditional clipfest featuring some notable and not-so-notable moments from her time at the station, and of course, played the Beach Boys classic, Help Me Rhonda, in the background.

    What would you call the last year where she has been a reporter and weekend anchor for FOX-14.
