Sorboni Banerjee is joining Fox Television Stations-owned WTVT FOX 13 in Tampa, Florida as a consumer reporter.
Sorboni joins WTVT after a brief break from television news to have her first child with husband Jarrod Holbrook, an investigative reporter at WFTS ABC 28 also in Tampa.
“I can’t think of a more rewarding reporting role than helping viewers save time and money, stay safe, and keep up to date with technology and trends,” Sorboni said in a statement. “Social Media has made news a two-way street, and I can’t wait to reach out, and hear directly from the Tampa Bay community!”
Sorboni comes to WTVT from Cox Media Group station WFXT FOX 25 in Boston, Massachusetts where she had been an anchor and reporter since 2012. She joined the station as a morning anchor, and most recently had been a co-anchor of the FOX 25 News at 5 with Mark Ockerbloom and Maria Stephanos before being moved back to mornings to co-anchor the 4am-6am news with Daniel Miller.
Before coming to FOX 25, Sorboni was a morning anchor/reporter at WHDH-TV NBC 7 also in Boston. Prior to that she was the morning anchor at WLNE-TV ABC 6 in Providence, RI. She has also been an anchor/reporter at WHAG-TV NBC 25 in Hagerstown, MD.
A native of South Kingstown, RI, Sorboni is a 2002 graduate of Boston University where she studied broadcast journalism.
Sorboni starts her new position at WTVT on June 6.
