KSBY Communications is pleased to announce that one of the nation's top local TV news talents is coming home to the Central Coast. Jeanette Trompeter will join the KSBY News team beginning in January 2010.
During her two decades as a television anchor and reporter, Trompeter has been honored with multiple prestigious journalism awards. These include two Edward R. Murrow awards and six regional Emmy awards from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
This is a homecoming for Trompeter, a Central Coast native who began her television career at KSBY. After graduating from Cal Poly, Trompeter worked at KSBY as a newscast producer and general assignment reporter. She then moved to KCCI-TV in Des Moines, Iowa, quickly becoming one of the area's leading anchors. While Trompeter was at KCCI, the station was honored with a national Edward R. Murrow award for overall excellence. In 2005, Trompeter moved to Minneapolis to take an anchor position at WCCO-TV. In both of the last two years, she was honored with Emmy awards for best anchor.
On returning to KSBY, Trompeter said, "I've always dreamed of coming home to the station where I got my start. There's no place in the country like the Central Coast and I look forward to bringing my friends, family and neighbors information that makes a real impact in their lives."
"We are thrilled to have a journalist of Jeanette's caliber rejoin the team at KSBY," said News Director Dave Schermer. He continued, "I know Central Coast residents will benefit from her insight, integrity and personal connections to our community."
Beginning January 4, Trompeter will join Tony Cipolla, Dave Hovde and Andrew Masuda on the anchor desk. She will co-anchor KSBY's newscasts at 5:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 11:00 p.m. More information about Trompeter is available on her blog at www.jeanettetrompeter.com.

I am hoping that all the viewers of KSBY appreciate the superior quality of the new anchor woman you recently received.....she is AWESOME!! When Jeanette left KCCI in Des Moines there were a lot of people devastated because she is such a 'real' individual when it comes to telling the story....telling it like it actually happened to her! You are very fortunate to have such a wonderful and down to earth woman at your station and it's my hope that she will be welcomed and respected by all of your viewers....we would take her back in Des Moines in a heartbeat and I know the people in Minnesota would do the same! You definitely have a 'one of a kind' KSBY!! I wish Jeanette nothing but the BEST!!
