Aesia Toliver has been appointed as the new weekday evening co-anchor at WAVY, the NBC affiliate station in Norfolk, Virginia. Previously, Toliver served as the weekday morning news co-anchor at the same station. Her transition to the evening slot marks a significant shift in her career at WAVY, allowing her a new schedule and different responsibilities.
Toliver expressed her excitement about the change on social media, sharing her enthusiasm about transitioning to a new shift that allows her to sleep in. She also mentioned that while she will continue to appear on the midday show, her new role will have her joining fellow anchor Tom Schaad at the 5 and 6 p.m. broadcasts starting Monday. This move marks a new chapter in her career as she continues to engage with the Hampton Roads community in a different time slot.
Before joining WAVY in 2018, Aesia Toliver built her journalism career as a multimedia journalist at 14 News in Evansville, Indiana. Her experience and skills have been integral to her success at WAVY, where she has become a familiar face for viewers tuning in for the morning news. Her move to the evening news slot is anticipated to bring a fresh dynamic to the stations evening newscast.
