Jessica Riley

Jessica is proud to be a part of the KDKA team joining in January 2025.

As a Steubenville, OH native, Pittsburgh was her go-to place growing up for sports, festivals, entertainment... you name it! Growing up on the banks of the Ohio River, KDKA luckily was on cable for her to watch growing up all the amazing people throughout the years.

Prior to Pittsburgh, Jessica began her career at WTOV9 in Steubenville. She spent three years working as a reporter, producer and anchor. During her time, she covered breaking news, crime, community events and national events. She was awarded as a Community Champion GOLD Gala recipient by the Ja'Quan Lavender Foundation for her involvement with the public.

She is a graduate of West Virginia University with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism. During her college years, she was a part of the Emmy award-winning WVU News team during the COVID-19 pandemic as a health reporter and anchor.

When she is not out telling stories, Jessica loves to grab a coffee, watch true crime documentaries and spend time with her family and friends.
