Annabel Thorpe
Annabel Thorpe joined the WLKY team as a reporter in June 2021.
Before moving to Louisville, Annabel worked as a reporter, presenter, and producer for KOMU-TV in Columbia, Missouri. Annabel invests in telling and following up important stories viewers need to know: from heartwarming articles to breaking news to investigations. She was honored to tell a multi-part series about the disappearance of body cameras in a sheriff’s department after a MP shot a local resident. She has also reported on local political campaigns and directed coverage of the Missouri Governor’s election campaign.
With her investigative work, she took 2nd place at the Hearst National TV Awards. She has also been recognized twice as a RTDNF President Fellow and a NATAS Mid-America Emmy’s Scholar.
Annabel graduated summa cum laude and was in the top 10% of the University of Missouri School of Journalism with degrees in journalism and economics. She is an intern for the Dallas Morning News, Erin Burnett OutFront of CNN and London Live (a lifestyle and cultural broadcaster based in London, England).
Annabel grew up in a small town outside of Dallas-Fort Worth. She is more than excited to be telling the stories of Derby City. In her free time, Annabel walks around town with her fur baby Lily (the prettiest Australian Shepherd).
