I'm humbled and honored to become the first female on air in 2 Sports history.
Looking forward to working with the incredible team at @WDTN! pic.twitter.com/ypQLhrjpc3"I ain't crying, that's West Texas in my eye.
My time in WTX is coming to a close. No amount of characters can sum up what this time has meant to me. I was a small part of your lives, but y’all were a big part of mine.
My last day at KMID is in 2 weeks (Feb 28). I’ll have more to share about what’s next in the coming weeks! Thank you WTX"
Smith joined KMID in June 2022.
The University of Missouri School of Journalism grad was a sports reporter/anchor for KOMU 8 News. She has also worked for MUTV 23 Sports as the Sports Digital Director.
She is a member of the Association for Women in Sports Media.
