Caroline Klapp joins WNEM as 5 and 6 p.m. anchor

Caroline Klapp has joined WNEM in Saginaw, Michigan, as an early evening news anchor, returning to the state where she began her broadcasting career.

Klapp joined the CBS affiliate in October 2026 and now co-anchors the station’s 5 and 6 p.m. newscasts alongside Chet Davis.

She brings nearly a decade of local television news experience to the position, most recently working at WNEM’s sister station in South Bend, Indiana, WNDU.

During her career, Klapp has earned recognition for her reporting, including a Regional Edward R. Murrow Award. She has also received honors from the Indiana Broadcasters Association and the Society of Professional Journalists for investigative journalism.

A Texas native, Klapp graduated from Texas Christian University’s Bob Schieffer College of Communication.

She began her television career at WWTV and WWUP in Cadillac, Michigan, and has maintained ties to the state, where her family now lives.

Klapp said she considers Michigan home and is looking forward to covering issues affecting communities across the state’s midsection, particularly stories that examine local problems and seek accountability.

Outside the newsroom, Klapp enjoys exploring restaurants with her fiancé and spending time with their dog and cat.
