Popular CT Television News Anchor To Leave Station
CONNECTICUT — After nearly seven years at Fox 61, television news reporter Carmen Chau is leaving.
In a lengthy post on Facebook Friday, Chau announced her departure from the station and thanked viewers for tuning in over the years. She said her last day on air will be Friday, Feb. 2.
However, she noted her final newscasts will take place this weekend.
“My six years here have really allowed me to heighten my passion for TV journalism – a reminder to myself that this career was always meant for me and it always will be,” Chau wrote. “The itch of curiosity doesn’t come with an off and on button. Being a journalist has become my identity and I’ll be honest, I’m afraid of losing that identity. “
Chau joined Fox 61 in April 2017 as a nightside reporter, according to her bio on the station’s website. She then went on to anchor the news at 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Saturday nights.
“I’ve covered some gruesome stories… stories I always took home with me and made me ponder as to how cruel some people can be. I’ve also covered many positive stories… stories that always made me grin from ear to ear during my drive home, making my sleep easier at night knowing there are still good people in this world,” Chau added.

“No matter the story, what’s paramount to me is hoping … I’ve made a difference by shedding light on communities’ concerns, giving a voice to the voiceless, but also righting the wrong.”
A Connecticut native and graduate of East Hartford High School and Eastern Connecticut State University, Chau went to Quinnipiac University for her master’s degree in broadcast journalism. She later became an adjunct professor at QU.
Prior to coming to Fox 61, Chau worked as a reporter in Hagerstown, Md., and then in Albany, N.Y.
It’s unclear what Chau will do next, but she hinted that she’ll be in touch soon about her plans.
“As I always say, there is no show without the viewers. So I thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Truly. Deeply,” Chau wrote. “So, what’s next? You always hear me say every weekend – don’t go away, I’ll be right back with that.”

Connecticut Technical Education and Career System under investigation by U.S. Department of Education
(WFSB) – The Connecticut Technical Education and Career System is under investigation by the United States Department of Education.
In a letter sent to the superintendent obtained by Channel 3, the nature of the investigation centers around the district’s handling of rape and/or sexual assault cases by school staff.
“Due to the District’s inaccurate responses to the rape and/or sexual assault data elements involving allegations against school staff of OCR’s 2023–24 Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), the directed investigation will examine whether the District has policies and procedures in place to ensure accurate data collection and reporting and that its handling of the sexual harassment, including sexual assault, of students by District teachers, administrators, and/or staff members is consistent with the requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) and its implementing regulation,” said the letter in part.
