A very familiar face on local Buffalo TV has announced their new location.

It was back in June that News 4 Wake-up co-host Mel Orlins announced that she would be leaving the station for another opportunity.


Orlins had been in Buffalo for the past five years, joining WVIB in July of 2017. It was also on Twitter that she announced that she found a new TV home and was excited to be back down South.

She graduated from Florida State University before working in the professional TV world. According to her latest Tweet, she has settled down in South Carolina working for a TV station in Charleston. If you have ever been to Myrtle Beach, Charleston is about an hour south and is known for its beauty and rich history.  

Prior to working in Buffalo, Orlins had worked as a morning anchor and investigative reporter in Harrisburg, PA, and in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

It has been a while since she has lived down south according to her online bio and resume.

We wish her the best and hopefully she doesn't end up rooting for the Carolina Panthers.
