Penny Moss feels blessed to bring the news to viewers in her hometown. She anchors NewsChannel Three's 5:30 and 6 pm newscasts from WSAZ's Charleston newsroom. Penny's great-grandparents moved to Nitro during World War I, making her a 4th generation Kanawha Valley resident. In fact, she's the only main news anchor here in Charleston-Huntington who is a native West Virginian.

Penny was born in Huntington when her father, Perry Moss, was the head football coach at Marshall University. His career in college and professional football meant her family moved around quite a bit -- living in Chicago, Illinois; Green Bay, Wisconsin; and Orlando, Florida to name a few.

Her family finally settled back in here in West Virginia, and she graduated from Poca High School in Putnam County. She was involved in a number of sports and other activities in school, but her favorite was performing in Poca High's award-winning show choir.

Penny graduated from Marshall University with a degree in broadcast journalism.

Penny worked at WOAY-TV in Oak Hill, West Virginia, and WVVA-TV in Bluefield, West Virginia before returning to the Kanawha Valley to work at WSAZ beginning in January of 1997.

The West Virginia Women's Commission honored Penny as its 2006 Woman of the Year in the business category.

As much as Penny loves her job, she says her favorite title is Mom. She and her husband Matt have three children: two girls and a boy.

Feel free to send her an email-- she loves hearing from viewers.
