Hanna Powers leaving the Lowcountry for the Mile High City
MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCBD) – She has always been a professional at breaking news, but the news of Hanna Powers' departure from News 2 is breaking the hearts of many.
Hanna has been a part of the News 2 family for more than five years, first joining the team as a nightside reporter – then she began a new course, trading night for mornings, and moved to News 2 Today as our traffic anchor and midday anchor.
Her impeccable work ethic, engaging personality, warm smile, sense of style and humor, her love for vegan food are all admirable qualities, but it is her passion for news and dedication to getting accurate and timely information out to News 2 viewers is what shines brightest.
Hanna has a nose for news, an unbridled passion for fashion, a heart for horses, and a love for all animals.
In her time at News 2, she has led the cavalry when it comes to saving animals through our successful Clear the Shelters campaign, with Hanna at the helm, with her name, she was empowered and used her powers to bring change. She worked to open hearts and homes for pets across the Lowcountry.
She became the stylish News 2 face at Charleston Place as the Lowcountry turns wild for the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition each year.
Hanna is an accomplished equestrian, a junior Olympian, and despite her hectic work schedule, she prioritizes time to keeping up the pace with her horse, Lace, or perhaps a shopping spree with her best bud Ernie, once a shelter dog, now king of her castle.
Focused, meticulous, with a compassionate heart, never one to put the horse before the cart. Now she is back on the saddle, heading to the Mile High City – Denver, Colorado.
Hanna created memorable moments for our viewers and helped them start their day with a smile, and we will always be thankful. Now, she is grabbing the reins to begin again, leaving a forever mark at News 2 and the Lowcountry in her tracks.

Ryan Lochte Thanks Fans After Having ‘Rough Day' Amid Divorce: ‘Gotta Put 1 Foot in Front of the Other'
Ryan Lochte is appreciative of the support he's received following his split from wife Kayla Rae Reid. 'Just want to say thank you to everyone who wrote a message, reached out to me, just open arms. It means a lot to me,' the Olympian, 40, said in a video shared via his Instagram Story on Thursday, June 5. 'Yesterday was a rough day for me, but like always in life, you gotta put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. So that's what I'm doing.' Lochte also thanked loved ones who sent him a thoughtful gift amid the tough time. 'To my second family that sent me this beautiful card and a basket full of candy that now my son is eating,' Lochte shared while holding up a nearly empty carton of Whoppers. 'Thank you guys, I love you guys.' Olympic Swimmer Ryan Lochte and Wife Kayla Rae Reid Split After 7 Years of Marriage Earlier this week, Reid, 33, announced that she filed for divorce from Lochte after seven years of marriage. 'Earlier this year, I made the hard decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection,' she wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, June 4. 'I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing and challenging seasons of my life. I've been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing — not from fresh, open wounds.' Reid continued: 'Sometimes we face trials we didn't choose or see coming. And in those moments, we're forced to make the hardest decisions to protect our peace, our children and our future. I've come to understand that staying isn't always the most loving decision someone can make. For me, leaving was an act of love — for those around me and myself.' Lochte and Reid tied the knot in 2018. The pair share three children: Caiden, 7, Liv, 5, and Georgia, 23 months. Olympian Ryan Lochte Recalls How He Saved His Marriage to Kayla Reid From Divorce Following Reid's post, Lochte broke his silence on their separation. 'This past year has brought major changes for both of us as we've come to the difficult decision to end our marriage. I'm deeply grateful for the life we've built together and especially for the love we share for our three children,' he wrote in an Instagram statement. 'Although this decision hasn't been easy, I believe it's the right step toward peace and well-being for us both.' Lochte added that he is 'committed to healing, growth and coparenting with care and respect' as he and Reid navigate their 'new chapter.'

Ohio Blvd Project discussion continues
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— Dozens of residents attended the Terre Haute City Council Thursday night, as they discussed the proposed Ohio Boulevard Project. Brickyard Estates and Paddock at the Park is a proposed $70 million project. It will include single family homes and multi family units located between Ohio Boulevard and Edgewood Grove. The homes are slated to be part of 93 home subdivision of 1600 square feet and with a price between $350,000 to $400,000. There will also be 11, three story apartment complexes. Many residents voiced they agree with the housing side of the project, but not the apartment side. 'This proposal, the money it will need to be paid back over a 20 year span. And knowing that 20 years from now, think about what those apartments potentially could look like and how they may downgrade and be a detraction from the jewel of Ohio Boulevard and Deming Park,' Resident Heidi Isaia said. The proposal was tabled until June 12th. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
