Our program on March 5th was a presentation by Kim Johnson, the morning anchor on WCCO-TV.                                                                                              
 
She’s a graduate of Maple Grove High School and the University of Minnesota. She started her career on the air in Duluth MN, then went to Green Bay, the Quad Cities, Salt Lake City, and finally arrived back here in town. For the morning show, she arises at 2:30 AM every day, and the show is presented by a team of regulars. They are a true team, both on and off the air.                                                                                                                                         
 
Kim says that she tells high school classes she talks to that when working in TV, you “have to serve your time”, that you need the experience on-camera in the smaller cities before you can get hired by a major-market station.
