NBC Connecticut, WVIT, has announced the appointment of Briceyda Landaverde as the weekend anchor for “NBC Connecticut Today.” She will be joining forces with NBC Connecticut StormTracker meteorologist Alexis Clemons on the weekend morning newscasts.
Landaverde joined WVIT in June 2022 as a bilingual reporter. Before her current role, she held a position as a weekend morning anchor and reporter in Springfield, Massachusetts, where she played a key role in launching an online news update in Spanish. In addition to her anchoring responsibilities, she contributes to Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra, delivering news and information to Spanish-speaking audiences across the New England Telemundo-owned stations.
“I’m deeply honored and excited to step into the role of weekend anchor,” said Landaverde in a statement. “This recognition means the world to me – not just as a journalist but as the daughter of immigrants who worked tirelessly to build a better future for our family. Their sacrifices, strength, and dreams are the foundation of everything I do. To be trusted with this responsibility, to serve and inform our community, is both humbling and inspiring. I look forward to bringing energy and professionalism to our weekend broadcasts. This is the American Dream.”
