Colleen Williams

On August 29, 2009, Williams attended the 61st Emmy Awards at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in North Hollywood, California.

Williams was particularly visible during the O. J. Simpson murder trial, which she covered for KNBC and MSNBC, co-anchoring a daily summary of the trial each evening. [1] It was after the Simpson trial concluded that Williams succeeded long-time 11 p.m. anchor Kelly Lange. Lange left the station after 25 years to work briefly for KCBS-TV before leaving television entirely in 2001.

Williams joined KNBC in 1986 from cross-town rival KCBS-TV where she anchored the 5 p.m. news for three years, succeeding Connie Chung after she left for NBC News. Prior to her L.A. arrival at KCBS (which was then KNXT), Williams anchored at KPIX-TV, the CBS station in San Francisco, California.
