Carolyn Long Enters Hall of Fame | Kansas City News

Carolyn Long, Kansas broadcasting icon and KCTV5 anchor for nearly 30 years, is being honored with induction into the Kansas Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame class of 2026 — a tribute to her legendary journalism, leadership, and unwavering community spirit. Known for her calm poise, grace under pressure, and deep commitment to Kansas City, she’s still heard nationwide as the station’s official voice. Even after retiring last May and relocating to Florida, her legacy echoes through every broadcast. The ceremony will take place October 18 in Wichita — a well-deserved celebration of a career that defined local news.
