   Hosts for Season of Harmony Concerts Announced  
 

 

MATINEE CONCERT - Emmy-award winning journalist Jessica Ralston can be seen weeknights as co-anchor of NewsChannel 5 at 5 and 10 p.m. She has been honored with an Emmy award four times for her work as an anchor covering major breaking news events. Jessica has also been honored by the Associated Press and Broadcaster's Association a record 30 times for awards, including "Broadcast Journalist of the Year," "Best Anchor," "Best Reporter," "Best Enterprise Reporter," "Best Breaking News Coverage," and "Best PM Newscast." She was also nominated for a "Woman of Merit" award and twice named "Talent of the Year" in West Virginia. She is passionate about volunteerism and staying active in the community and lives in downtown Nashville with her fiance' Jimmy and two dachshunds named Ginger and Ellie Mae.

 

EVENING CONCERT - Tracy Kornet is a five-time Emmy Award winning news anchor, host and  writer who is thrilled to be back in Nashville where she now co-anchors Channel 4 News at 5:00pm with Tom Randles. The wife and mother of three children credits her years at Vanderbilt University for her start in television, and for her recent return to Music City. Her youngest son, Luke, is a 7-foot forward who plays for the Vanderbilt Commodores. It's also where she met her husband of 24 years, Frank, a former Vanderbilt basketball star who went on to play in the NBA and Europe. Tracy comes to WSMV from Dallas/Fort Worth, where she anchored the 4 p.m. news and the city's first 2-hour primetime evening newscast. She began her news career in Lexington, KY, and later moved to Phoenix to launch and host her own morning magazine show.
