Sydney Wicker joined KCEN 6 Waco-Temple-Killeen in September 2024 as a sports anchor/reporter.
You can also catch her for "Wicker Wednesdays" on KCEN owner TEGNA's sister property, Locked on Baylor with Cam Stuart. As a Baylor alum who is very proud of how Coach Aranda turned the Bears around this season, this podcast is how I learned Wicker was hired at channel 6! On to the Texas Bowl in Houston!
I was in Waco recently, and I cannot believe how much it has changed over the years! I was walking around downtown, and even though the Magnolia Market at the Silos is closed Sundays, there were tourists just hanging outside of the gates!
Speaking of Chip and Joanna Gaines, I also saw The Hotel 1928, which was apparently an abandoned building when I lived there. I covered trials at the McLennan County Courthouse just down the street.
Wicker arrives from WCTV Tallahassee, Florida, where she has been a sports anchor since July 2023. She started her broadcasting career with WTOK 11 Meridian, Mississippi, as a weekend sports anchor.
The Colorado State University grad won a Hearst Award for her work as the school's CTV. She interned with Fox Sports for ‘The Herd,’ and ‘Undisputed’ with Shannon Sharp and Skip Bayless plus KKTV 11 News Colorado Springs, Colorado.
