Heidi Voight has been named the new traffic reporter at WVIT-TV NBC Connecticut.
Heidi will join its weekday morning news team as a morning traffic and general assignment reporter. She will be joining Todd Piro, Shirley Chan and Bob Maxon for “NBC Connecticut Today” from 4:30 to 7:00 a.m.
“Heidi takes our traffic reporting to another level,” said Matt Piacente, vice president of news who made the announcement today. “She knows our roads, brings a solid news background and engages thousands of commuters every day on social media. We’re excited to have her on our morning team.”
For the past three months she has been in this same position, but as a freelance employee.
She joined NBC Connecticut from the Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation where she was director of communications. Prior to that she was the public affairs officer at Connecticut Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day.
