Todd Wallace Staying at WPRI


Viewers will recognize Todd Wallace on WPRI, he has been a freelance reporter with the station since May of 2013. However with the recent hiring of Perry Russom and Tatevik Aprikyan it seemed unclear if WPRI would still need Wallace's services.

That question appeared to be answered on Monday when Wallace was added to the news team section of WPRI.com and once again began appearing on newscasts. According to his bio which can be read here Todd, his wife, and his dogs have settled in East Providence.

Todd is a great asset to WPRI, he has been an anchor in several major television markets including Dallas, and Indianapolis. When he started as an anchor in Indiana the station was so excited about there new team, they sent Todd and his co-anchor on a bus tour around the state. Check out the 2007 promo below.

While the pairing did not last, Wallace found his way to Boston as a freelance reporter for WCVB before coming to Providence.

Channel 12 has always had great freelance reporters over the years. Freelancers at the station are not usually required to shoot and edit, meaning more experienced reporters will take the jobs, as opposed to younger inexperienced reporters who take the full time VJ positions.
