WESH-Channel 2 has revealed the other anchor in its new weekend evening team: Iraq veteran Adrian Whitsett will join the NBC affiliate.

"Adrian's experiences as a Marine and as a seasoned journalist give him a unique point of view that will connect with Central Florida's large military community," news director Kirsten Wolff said in announcing the hire.

He joins the station Jan. 27 and will report during the week.

WESH on Tuesday announced that Summer Knowles, who has worked at CBS-owned WFOR in Miami, will join the station as a weekend anchor. She starts Jan. 26.

Whitsett served four years of active duty in the Marine Corps from 1999 to 2003, WESH said, and provided support for light-armored vehicles in Iraq.
