Ashley Hoak

@RoyRogers_HTMS Thank you for the kind words! 🙂 I am no longer at WCYB (or in news) -- I now do communications for Washington County (Virginia) Public Schools.

@AshleyHoak Everyone deserves a Vacation. You do good work :) when are you coming back ?

It’s time for a new era ✨ After 11.5 years working in the news industry, I am handing over my microphone. In that time, I have reported for two different stations: KTVO, covering Northeast Missouri and Southwest Iowa and WCYB, covering Southwest Virginia & Northeast Tennessee.

Finally, to all of my amazing coworkers - thank you. You made each and every day so special. I have been blessed to work with what I believe, are the best in the news business … and thank you to each and every person that has helped me get to where I am today ❤️
