Hello! My name is Rochelle Alleyne. I'm an Emmy-nominated investigative reporter for 10TV (WBNS) in Columbus, OH.

Who I Am

I love stories, in every sense of the word. From a very young age, I knew I’d grow up to tell them in some capacity. And every day I do my job, it’s not lost on me that I am walking out my childhood dreams. 

A Little Work History

Before moving to CBUS, I worked as an in-depth reporter for ABC Action News in Tampa, Florida. In that role, I found creative ways to tackle the stories that need a little bit more time and context to be told fully. In my time there, I covered several major hurricanes, revealed inconsistencies in local government processes, and highlighted issues with a local homeowner’s association.

Prior to that, I worked just a few hours away as a reporter/mmj and fill-in anchor for Fox 4 News in Fort Myers, Florida. In my time there, I covered a few tropical storms and reported extensively on the Wade Wilson murder trial. I also found my passion for investigative/in-depth journalism, which led to a lengthy series of stories on homelessness and on housing concerns at the Lago Del Sol apartment complex.

​I have also worked as a reporter and fill-in anchor for Spectrum News in Buffalo, New York. While there, I covered tornadoes, snowstorms, the Buffalo Bills, and dozens of major breaking news events. In my role there, I strengthened my ability to ad-lib during wall-to-wall breaking news coverage, work under tighter, stricter deadlines, and form contacts within the community. But most importantly, my time in Buffalo only further confirmed my commitment and passion for journalism.

I got my start in this business as an mmj, anchor, and producer for KXXV-TV in the Waco-Temple-Killeen news market. During the week, Central Texas provided the opportunity to cover everything from helicopter crashes at Fort Hood to home invasions and severe weather. On weekends, I worked as the morning anchor and producer. In that role, I was responsible for stacking, timing, and writing the show, and sending crews out to scenes as necessary.

Where It All Started

I am a University of Florida graduate with degrees in Broadcast Journalism and Political Science (specializing in international relations).

While in school, I worked as an mmj and anchor for WUFT-TV, a University of Florida and PBS-affiliated television station. During those two years, I honed my skills in writing, interviewing, reporting, editing, anchoring, and preparing content for the station website. In that time, I also worked as a nightside reporter for the Gainesville Television Network (GTN News), through an apprenticeship program. This provided me with extra real-world experience and included doing live shots.
