Maria came to the Ozarks in 2005 to anchor the morning news. After working in Kansas, she moved to Tucson, Arizona during wildfire season and won awards for her work alongside firefighters, including Best Live Reporting from the Arizona Associated Press. They’ve been married for 15 years and have two children. It’s also where she met her husband, who worked as a director at the station. That led to her first job anchoring and reporting the news in Lawrence, Kansas. She got her big break in news when a producer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania sent her resume video to a news director without telling her about it. Yes, she’s a Steelers fan and even got to meet Bill Cowher. She worked in the engineering department for WTAE in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where she ran robotic cameras, audio and the overnight assignment desk. Maria Neider spent years behind the camera, before moving to the anchor desk. We started our family here, and it’s home,” says Maria. It’s a responsibility I take seriously as a journalist. “I am honored to keep doing what I love to do. Maria Neider is excited to be moving to the evening news after helping people start the mornings on Ozarks Today for more than 15 years. She has three stepchildren and three grandchildren. Lisa met the “love of her life”, Randy Rose in 1997 and married him the following year. And she’s been here to watch her 12 nieces and nephews grow up and have kids of their own. She’s been able to be with her brothers and sister, who also live here in the Ozarks. Just like our viewers, I didn’t have to move away to find the very best resources available for news gathering. From technology to techniques in news gathering, the station has been a leader in television news. “At every turn, KY3 has stayed ahead of the curve in broadcast news. “it was KY3 itself that kept me here,” As Lisa states. Like most television reporters, Lisa had planned to move on to bigger stations in larger cities, but the personal pull to stay in Springfield was strong. Despite being a studio anchor, Lisa still went out into the field to report during big events and breaking news, including the 1988 Democratic National Convention in Atlanta. She arrived at KY3 in 1984 to be the evening anchor. She was first a reporter and then became anchor. Lisa started her career at KODE-TV in Joplin shortly after graduating from Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina. She grew up in the Ozarks and graduated from the Christian Schools of Springfield. Lisa has worked at KY3 for more than 36 years. I can’t wait to see what God has planned for us next.” I’m always excited about change, because it usually brings growth. My husband, Randy and I are going to love having our evenings together again. “I’m so delighted about this move to co-anchor the noon and 6 p.m. We are also adding an experienced anchor to our morning newscast who has the same commitment to community service KY3 does.” Steve and Lisa will continue our news excellence at noon and 6 p.m.
They love living and serving the Ozarks community and want to try something new. Maria, Chad and Paul have worked here for more than 15 years each. We are moving forward with a solid anchor leadership team our viewers already know and love. “But we are very excited about the changes and new opportunities for other anchors here at KY3. “We will miss Ethan and Sara Forhetz and the long-time commitment they’ve had to journalism in the Ozarks,” said News Director Bridget Lovelle. All these anchor changes come after the resignations of Sara and Ethan Forhetz as they move from news to Christian non-profit Convoy of Hope in mid-January. These anchor moves are in addition to the ones announced at the end of November of Paul Adler to evening anchor and Sports Director Chad Plein to morning anchor. Jackie Garrity, a long-time journalist and former 911 dispatcher, will be joining the team in January.
