Meet The Team

After growing up in Wyoming, I went to college at the University of Mary in Bismarck and broke into television during my senior year as a graphics operator.

They say those who wish to sing always find a song. I'm looking forward to "finding my pitch" in the television business at KMOT-TV in the Magic City.

Hello, my name is Michael Anthony and I’m a reporter in Williston. I love to talk about sports, especially football! I used to be a news anchor and reporter for the local radio station but now I’m excited for a new adventure in television!

I’m excited to return to North Dakota and share the interesting stories here! I was born and raised in Rhode Island and was involved in my high school’s online newspaper and literary magazine.

I’m Heather Brumbaugh, an experienced news journalist. I’m thrilled to be back at KFYR-TV as a News Producer, because it’s where I landed my first job in TV news after college! I moved to Bismarck from Cleveland, OH in 2001. I was a reporter, anchor, and producer for 5 years with KFYR. (I met my now-husband during that time too!)

Daniel Burbank is an anchor, producer and reporter in Your News Leader's Bismarck bureau. He joined the KFYR news team in August, 2018.

I grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado but I have lived on the East Coast for a number of years. My parents are extremely excited that one of their children has finally made her way back West.

Brian serves as the executive producer for The Noon Report and First News at Five.

Monica is one of those rarities in television news…a hometown girl.

I was born and raised in Williston, North Dakota. As a child, watching the evening news on NBC with Tom Brokaw and Brian Williams every night before supper shaped my admiration for the world of broadcasting.

After taking a few years off, I'm thrilled to be back at KFYR-TV, which was my first "real" job after college. I started at the station for the first time in 1997 and tried my hand at just about every job in the newsroom.

Hilary Lane is an Emmy-Award-Winning Reporter and Producer and is thrilled to be part of the KFYR team.

I started out in Nursing school but ended up here, in television. I have a bachelor’s in marketing from Minot State and I consider Minot my hometown My first home was in Berthold ND.

I've been reporting the news in North Dakota since 1989, and have been anchoring at KFYR-TV since 2001.

Cliff Naylor began his career in broadcasting in 1977. He has worked on-air as a sports anchor, news anchor and weathercaster. As a reporter, he produces feature stories and documentaries for KFYR-TV.

I'm from Fargo, North Dakota, and have lived in North Dakota for most of my life. I love writing and have always been interested in journalism, and am especially excited to now be working at KFYR-TV!

I grew up in a military family, but I spent most of my life right here in North Dakota. I couldn’t be happier to be back in Minot and close to home.

I’m a California girl, originally, now growing some tough North Dakota skin. My husband grew up in Bismarck. We moved back here hoping to be closer to family to start one of our own. That’s just what we did! Our daughter, Lucy, was born in 2018. She’s keeps us on our toes and we are absolutely soaking up every moment of it.

Broadcasting, especially television, has intrigued me since I was very young. Whether it was watching old westerns, game shows or sports on television or listening to radio broadcasts of Minnesota Twins baseball games, I was always intrigued by the industry. Then in college (South Dakota State University)...
