Amelia Santaniello WCCO
Before joining Minnesota, Amelia reported the weekend news at WTIC-TV in Hartford, CT. Santaniello began her career in Washington, D.C., at WUSA, as a reporter trainee. From there, she went to WETM-TV in Elmira, New York, where she anchored the weekend newscasts. Later she moved on to WNEP-TV in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Pa. as a reporter and anchor.
City Pages editors named her Best correspondent in the Twin Cities in 2000 and 2013. Readers of The Minnesota Women’s Press decided on her as their favorite local female television personality.
Appears to be a mismatched pair of anchors covering the war in Minneapolis on WCCO, the CBS affiliate and station for CBSN Minnesota. Reporting a tense circumstance in the city, things seem to be tense on set, as the male anchor repeatedly talks over the female anchor and viewers can feel the tension between these two. Later, looks like these unmasked anchors, are side-by-side, on the news set, much less than six feet apart.
Taking it to a reporter in an empty parking lot at a mall in Blaine (neighboring community), she wears a mask. Is that overkill? Masks are not needed outdoors, She is OUTSIDE, and no one is within 50 feet of her. They seemed to be wearing the mask for appearances only or are sorely misinformed regarding the use of masks.
When she co-anchors the news three times a day, she is completely focused on current events. As she is honored to anchors next to her husband Frank Vascellaro, Amelia might be going home in between broadcasts to have dinner with her family – kids Sam, and twins Francesca and Joseph.
Throughout the Shakopee Chamber Women’s Event, “Building a Better YOU!” she will talk about how she manages work with motherhood and family. “Is there such a thing as work/life balance?” she asked, In addition, her unusual work schedule really works to her advantage. “I’m really lucky. With my kids, we get to spend mornings with them and I can go home and spend dinner with them.” She thanked her husband, too. “He is 100 percent there,” she said.
