Getting To Know Denise Koch

Your Day Brighter®

In a field that was for years, dominated by men, journalist Denise Koch forged a path in broadcast journalism and became one of the most trusted news anchors in our generation.

For 40 years, we’ve seen her on our local station WJZ, delivering the news with excellence, and covering human interest stories with warmth and relatability. I have admired her for so many years and I am thrilled to share this conversation with you on the podcast.

If you’re from Maryland, you know her name and you love her. If you’re not from Maryland, you’ll love her after listening to this conversation. Wise, warm and wonderful... meet Denise Koch, my guest on this episode of Your Day Brighter ™. And yes... that is me, doing a little fangirl squeal.
