Kristine Johnson joined CBS 2 in the fall of 2006. Since then, she has been nominated for several Emmy Awards and had the honor of winning seven trophies.
Kristine has navigated her viewers through numerous breaking news events. Most recently Hurricane Sandy and the blizzard of 2013, as well as the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. and the bombings at the Boston Marathon. She also covered many stories including Pope Benedict’s visit to the Big Apple, the miracle landing on the Hudson, news coverage from ground zero after the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden and the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Kristine has served as a guest co-host the daytime talk show “The Talk” and also played the role of a news anchor on episodes of the CBS hit prime time shows “Person of Interest” and “Elementary.”
In 1994, Kristine began her career at WPRI in Providence, R.I. She was hired as a part-time assignment editor. Over the next 10 years she would transition to several positions in the news room as a writer, later an associate producer, then a producer, reporter, and, ultimately, anchoring the very newscasts she once produced.
Kristine left Providence for New York City in 2004. She was hired by MSNBC and anchored daytime coverage. She also served as anchor for NBC’s national broadcast “Early Today.” During that time Kristine also had the honor of appearing on the weekend edition of the “Today Show” as news reader.
