On Fox 32's morning show, she'll be part of an anchor rotation that includes Scott Schneider, Anita Padilla, Sylvia Perez, Terrence Lee and Roseanne Tellez.

"I can't wait to say 'Good Day Chicago' to the great people of the Windy City," Blanton said in a statement. "Joining this team of respected journalists at a station dedicated to going beyond headlines with memorable, impactful coverage each day is more than a dream."

Also joining Fox 32 as a producer for "Good Day Chicago" is Slone Salerno, a morning news producer for CBS affiliate WMRC in Madison, Wisconsin.
