AK MEDIA: Trill Gates: anchor of ABC/FOX Your Alaska Link evening news
from East Anchorage Book Club with Andrew Gray · host Andrew Gray
Send us Fan MailABC/Fox Your Alaska Link’s evening news anchor Trill Gates began her education as a broadcast journalist as a junior at Bartlett High in the late 1980s. While in high school, she did an internship at the Fox news station on Tudor Road where she still is today. Trill became famous in the early '90s as "Kiddie Fox" on the "Fox 4 Kids Club" TV show. We talk about that experience and how unlikely it would be for that type of broadcast to thrive today. When her four kids were young, Trill left TV news and went to work as an elementary school teacher and later as a school librarian in the Anchorage School District. In 2022, she returned to ABC/Fox to anchor the evening news. We talk about how TV news has evolved and where it’s headed. We also discuss her recent trip to DC to interview Alaska’s federal delegation in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
