Together we can continue to empower women to pursue their passions and achieve their goals without conforming to traditional expectations or definitions. The Graham Media Group and WKMG News 6 culture supports this and encourages women to break free from stereotypes. Jane Marshall, our Vice President and General Counsel, is a shining example of how women can succeed on their own terms. #WomensEqualityDay #TrueEquality #EqualityWithoutThought #EqualPay #News6 #GettingResults #WomenLeadership #FemaleLeaders

The station is owned by The Graham Holdings Company (NYSE: GHC) and is one of seven Graham Media Group stations along with WDIV Detroit, KPRC Houston, KSAT San Antonio, WSLS Roanoke, and both WJXT and WCWJ Jacksonville. Serving nine counties, WKMG News 6 is Getting Results for our viewers by providing award-winning newscasts, in-depth investigations, and bringing important, life-saving information to Central Floridians every day.

The station signed on-air in July 1954 under the call sign WDBO-TV, standing for the two major cities in the market: Daytona Beach and Orlando (or, as it was informally known, "Way Down By Orlando"). It is the sixth-oldest television station in Florida and the oldest in Central Florida.

Today, we celebrate the incredible strides women have made in business and beyond and those who are role models to our daughters, like Graham Media Group’s Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Kimberly Parker. Every girl deserves a future where women continue to break barriers, with limitless potential, or better yet for a future where these are concerns of the past. #WomensEqualityDay #TrueEquality #EqualityWithoutThought #EqualPay #News6 #GettingResults #WomenLeadership #FemaleLeaders

“True equality isn't just about equal rights on paper,” remarks Catherine Badalamente, President & CEO of Graham Media Group. “It's about a world where: ·A woman's leadership is unremarkable because it's so common ·Girls grow up never doubting their potential in any field ·Diversity in the workplace is the norm, not an initiative ·Work-life balance is a given for all, regardless of gender ·Conversations about "women in [industry]" become obsolete ·Equal pay is so standard that the idea of a gender pay gap seems absurd ·Being the only woman in the boardroom is a distant memory We're working towards a future where equality is so deeply ingrained that we don't have to think about it anymore. It's just how things are. This Women’s Equality Day let's commit to making this vision a reality. Not just at Graham Media Group, but in our society as a whole.” Today, we celebrate the extraordinary women of Graham Media Group and WKMG News 6. May their words inspire us to create a more equitable tomorrow. #WomensEqualityDay #TrueEquality #EqualityWithoutThought #EqualPay #News6 #GettingResults #WomenLeadership #ExecutiveWomen #FemaleLeaders

WKMG News 6 reposted this
As local broadcasters we have so many ways to reach our audience, we have often begun to ask ourselves, “Does this warrant breaking into broadcast?” This Saturday evening, there was no question for WKMG News 6 ! Our local Lake Mary Little League team took the US Championship at the Little League World Series! Every second of this breaking coverage allowed for the power of a moment and the power of community— letting the audience soak it all in. CHECK OUT THE COVERAGE IN THE LINK ⬇️ Very proud of our team tonight! Let’s do it again tomorrow! #breaking #community #localjournalism #localnews

“Before my first investigation went on TV, I called him to ensure I did everything right,” said Treasure Roberts. Bonds are formed when new and seasoned teammates pair up in WKMG Connections, our newsroom mentorship program. “[Louis Bolden] became a mentor and friend… I am interested in investigative reporting and who better to help me than one of the best investigators in our news market! Louis made sure I checked all the boxes and that made me feel more confident when the story aired.” We foster a supportive environment where new members quickly become valued colleagues and friends. These relationships are based on mutual trust and commitment. “Even when he was off work, he made time to answer my call or respond to my texts. His guidance is invaluable.” #Mentorship #EmployeeDevelopment #Connections #Trust #Commitment #News6 #GettingResults
