Andrea Albers joined TMJ4 News in 2021 as a reporter and anchor. Andrea is a proud Wisconsin native whose roots begin in Iola, Wisconsin. She is an alumna of UW-Eau Claire's broadcast journalism program, and Eau Claire is where she was first hired as a reporter at WQOW News 18. Andrea went on to become a long-time evening anchor in Eau Claire and eventually the Assistant News Director. It's a title she also held during her time at WXOW News 19, the ABC affiliate in La Crosse, where she also anchored an hour-long midday newscast.
During her tenure in local news, Andrea has covered presidential visits, political protests at the Capitol, the 2017 Chetek tornado touchdown, and helped to launch the Jefferson Awards in western Wisconsin—a platform designed to honor local volunteers and create a ripple effect of positive action.
She has been recognized for her work, earning awards from the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, the Midwest Broadcast Journalists Association, and Emmy nominations.
