Lifelong New Orleanian Kim Holden is co-Anchor of the FOX 8 Morning
News, a 3 hour show every weekday from 6-9am. Kim joined the WVUE staff
in March, 1989 as a part-time Production Assistant and worked her way up
through the ranks on an unusual career path. It took her from Producer
to Reporter and Weekend Anchor, and eventually into management.
However, Kim is first and foremost, a storyteller, and her love of
reporting led her back to a job in front of the camera.
She has earned numerous awards for her reporting, including an Emmy and
two prestigious Edward R. Murrow awards. She was also named Associated
Press "Reporter of the Year" two times.
For many years, Kim has played a pivotal role in FOX 8's coverage of
every Hurricane threat. In 1998, she traveled to Central America to
chronicle the recovery from Hurricane Mitch, but the story that touched
her most is Louisiana's gift to New York City following the 9-11
attacks. "It was an incredible journey filled with patriotism,
generosity and most of all, love. When we delivered a brand new fire
truck to firefighters in Brooklyn, there wasn't a dry eye in the house."
Kim also hosts 2 shows for Cox Sports Television. "Outside the Huddle"
is a behind the scenes look at Saints players and coach's involvement in
the community and special projects throughout the Gulf South. "The LHSAA
Report" focuses on all girls and boys high school sports championships
throughout the school year in Louisiana.
Kim graduated from Dominican High School and earned a B.A. in Mass
Communications from Loyola University.
In her free time, Kim enjoys shopping, gardening, watching sports and
traveling with her husband and their kids.
