Super Bowl Update

From Indianapolis today comes word that WRTV Good Morning Indiana anchor Grace Trahan has announced that she is stepping down at the end of this week.

Trahan joined RTV6 in 1994, and has co-anchored GMI for the past 14 years.  She said in a statement that she wants to spend more time with her family.  "After much thought and consideration, I have decided that my family time is suffering and I cannot be the kind of mom I want to be to my three children. While I have enjoyed 23 wonderful years in the news business (18 of those right here at RTV6), I have decided it is time to put my family first," Trahan said.

She also wrote on her Facebook page that she plans to join the corporate world, although she did not divulge specifics.

Meanwhile, back at RTV6, a former 14WFIE reporter and anchor will step in to fill Trahan's shoes in the morning, at least for now.  Tanya Spencer (who Tri-State viewers will remember as Tanya Jourdain during her time in Evansville) will fill as the morning newscast's co-anchor on an interim basis until a permanent replacement is named.

Spencer joined WRTV in 2005.
