Megan Pringle is leaving a job as director of news and multimedia at Maroon PR to become part of the WBAL-TV morning team, the station announced today.

Pringle had been a morning anchor at WMAR-TV until being hired by Maroon in November.

"This is an interesting time in morning news in Baltimore, and we wanted to add her to our team," WBAL President Dan Joerres said. "Megan brings a lot of experience to the job. She understands the importance of morning news."

Joerres said Pringle will work on the station's breaking news desk appearing with Jason Newton and Mindy Basara from 5 to 8 a.m. weekdays.

She starts at WBAL in "mid-June," according to Joerres.
