Lori Wilson returns to Atlanta at Channel 2 Action News as a weekend evening anchor.

She'll be working with Justin Wilfon, replacing Wendy Corona , who recently became the permanent 4 p.m. weekday co-anchor.

Wilson worked at WGCL-TV, the CBS affiliate, as a morning and noon anchor and reporter in the mid-2000s for three years before moving to Philadelphia's WCAU-TV in 2006. She has most recently been at the Indianapolis station and CW affiliate WISH-TV for the past three years.

"I am excited to return to work in a city I fell in love with years ago," Wilson said in a press release. "There is so much rich culture and history in Atlanta, and so many wonderful people, I can't wait to serve the community once again and to work with the talented journalists at Atlanta's most trusted news source.”

She will start in January, 2017 at WSB-TV, an ABC affiiliate.

WSB-TV and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution are both part of Cox Media Group.
