In an exciting announcement, Assistant News Director Kelley Dickens has been promoted to News Director of ABC 57.

This promotion is not only a win for our news team and our community, but a win for the industry.

Not only is Kelley one of a handful of women working in this important leadership position but she is the first African American news director for the City of South Bend.
