Wisdom Martin, who recently left WTTG in D.C., has moved to WUSA 9 for their ‘Get Up DC’ morning show. According to WUSA’s Larry Miller, Wisdom Martin is “a staple here in Washington and WUSA 9 will be his new HOME.”
Martin had been the morning anchor at WTTG has left the D.C.-area station in July after 20 years. In a video, he said that the decision to leave was his and the station wanted him to continue.
According to the WTTG website, Martin’s career started “while he was a sophomore at Jackson State University. His first job in TV news was running the teleprompter on the weekends at WAPT news. From there he worked his way up to news photographer, editor and sports reporter for the weekend shows, before graduating.
“After leaving Jackson, he became a news and sports reporter/anchor at KSEE in Fresno, California; WRAL in Raleigh, North Carolina (Go Tar Heels!), weekend anchor at CNN in Atlanta; and anchor/reporter at WKRN in Nashville, Tennessee.
“During his time in Washington, Martin has covered several big stories including reporting live for several days in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, reporting live in Miami on the murder of Washington Redskins football player Sean Taylor, and was the first reporter live on the scene of FOX 5’s award-winning coverage of the serial bank robberies in D.C.”
Urban Radio Nation states that Wisdom Martin’s shift to WUSA “signals yet another anchor who has left Fox 5 over the last few years and has remained in town (in the District) for new roles at competing stations.”
