Christie Battista is an Emmy awardwinning journalist who has been anchoring The Morning Show at WCIA for nearly 2 years. Before coming to Champaign, she anchored the top-rated weekend morning show in Madison, WI and was also a reporter. She also worked as a multimedia journalist in Rockford, IL.
Originally from Chicago and attending Michigan State, Christie considers herself a Midwesterner through and through and believes the people here are truly the greatest; it’s not just a myth. She loves being able to tell the stories of central Illinois and is grateful to be brought into their homes every morning.
When not at work, Christie enjoys cooking (but especially eating) and spending time with her pup, Lola.
Join her and other WCI 3 viewers on this fabulous trip of a lifetime.
