STV ''News at Six'' anchor

In September 2018 STV re-launched their flag-ship 6 o'clock news programme for the central belt of Scotland. The new format combined the existing Edinburgh and Glasgow programmes into one co-anchored programme that contained sections that opted out to east or west stories, mixed with sections that were co-anchored from both locations with links being shared by both presenters. Kelly-Ann was chosen to anchor from the Edinburgh studio with John MacKay anchoring from the Glasgow studio.
