Salisbury, Md., July 10, 2025 — John Trout has joined Marquee Broadcasting/WMDT 47 ABC as Anchor of Good Morning Delmarva at 6 am and WMDT News at Noon.
John is a seasoned orator and began his career in radio. His award-winning news reporting and weather forecasts have been heard nationwide on network radio. As a decades long resident of The Delmarva Peninsula, Trout understands Delmarva from many perspectives.
“John is a consummate professional and journalist,” says Stephanie Willey, WMDT General Manager. “His integrity and news sense are impeccable; we are thrilled to welcome him aboard.”
In addition to his journalism and meteorology background at the local and national level, Trout is a licensed private pilot. He’s logged so many hours of flying time over the peninsula that the title of “The Flying Weatherman” was bestowed upon him.
“When I saw what WMDT is building with its news presence, and all the incredible changes being made, I definitely had to be a part of it”, says Trout. “When you tune in and you hear us say, ‘Because Local Matters,’ we mean it; our news team goes out every day to cover the stories that matter to you, your neighbors, family and friends. I’m grateful to have this opportunity.”
WMDT-TV is the Delmarva home of ABC, CW, MeTV and Marquee Digital.
