Brigitte Quinn is the new morning drive anchor at 1010 WINS-AM, according to northjersey.com.

Quinn was previously a co-anchor at WCBS-AM (880). She replaces Judy DeAngelis who retired Tuesday of this week.

In 1998, she was hired to help launch a new cable news channel called MSNBC and later became host of "NBC News at Sunrise."

She moved to Fox News Channel, where she was midday co-anchor of a two-hour live news and interview program.

Quinn has a bachelor's degree from Cornell University and a master of fine arts degree from Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville, N.Y.

"I spent the better part of five months searching for the right person," said Ben Mevorach, station news director. "The more time I spent with Brigitte, the more she separated herself from an extraordinarily qualified field of candidates. She is sharp, smart, a master at breaking news and knows how to write for the new generation of news consumers."
