Description

WCNC TV news anchor Fred Shropshire is leaving the Charlotte NBC affiliate for a station in a larger market. Shropshire will join NBC 10 in Philadelphia, WCAU, as a weekday anchor and reporter on June 26, the UNC Chapel Hill graduate announced on Instagram Friday. “While I’m excited to take this next step in my journey, I must say this wasn’t an easy choice for my family,” the 45-year-old Shropshire said. “Countless prayers and months of reflection went into this decision.” Shropshire anchors WCNC’s 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts. He also has field-anchored major news events in the Carolinas in his eight years at the station.
