You could say Denise Dory was destined for a career in broadcasting. For as long as she can remember she’s been a complete news junkie. As a child, she loved to watch the news with her mother and talk about the events taking place. She grew up in the shadow of the White House in Washington, DC For Denise, growing up in the nation’s capital was like watching history in the making. Denise’s career began in radio during college at the University of Hartford. She free-lanced as a reporter for a local station. After college her radio career continued with jobs in Delaware, North Carolina and Virginia. A television reporting job became available at the Richmond ABC affiliate, and a short time later Denise was also offered a weekend anchor job. Two years later, another job came calling and it was off to Cincinnati, where Denise anchored the noon and 5pm newscasts. After seven years Denise and her family were on the move again; next stop, Charlotte, North Carolina. While in Charlotte, Denise anchored the 5, 6 and 11pm newscasts. In 2002, the opportunity for Denise and her family to move back to this area was too hard to resist. Denise has been with WMAR ever since. She currently co-anchors Good Morning Maryland from 5 to 7am with Jamie Costello. Denise is also the station’s consumer reporter. Warning viewers about scams, helping resolve their issues with bad service or faulty products and putting cars and merchandise to the test are just a few of aspects of her job to help make viewers lives easier. Denise says she now has the best of both worlds. She, her husband, children and pets are surrounded by family and friends and she’s doing work that she loves. The bonus is getting an opportunity to meet fascinating people and lend her name and time to causes and organizations that are important to her.
