Jacqueline London is the new anchor at NBC 10

Jacqueline London has been off the air since June 2010, but she has landed on her feet.

The former anchor at WKMG-Channel 6 will start later this month as an early evening anchor at WCAU, the NBC owned-and-operated station in Philadelphia.

"It all happened so fast," London said Tuesday evening. She said she loved Philadelphia and called the decision "a no-brainer."

"I'm beyond excited to be in the fourth largest market in the country at the NBC O&O where Comcast is headquartered," she said.


London said she didn't know what job she might land after being off the air. She said she would have loved to stay in Orlando to work, but she would have had to wait six more months because of a noncompete clause with WKMG.

"My [WKMG] contract runs out, and I'll start there [in Philadelphia]," she said. "It's perfect timing."
