Natalie Jacobson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Natalie Jacobson (born Natalie Salatich) is a popular television newscaster with WCVB-TV in Boston, Massachusetts.
Her first television job was at crosstown WBZ-TV in the late 1960s, where she was public affairs director. When WCVB won the license for channel 5 in 1972, she was hired as a reporter. She quickly took the anchor chair for NewsCenter 5 Midday, the station's noon newscast, within months. In 1976 she was promoted to the station's flagship 6:00 p.m. newscast; and the 11:00 news was added to her duties in 1978. She later married her co-anchor, Chet Curtis; and the duo became the most-watched news team in Boston for twenty years. After a bitter and publicized divorce in 2000, Curtis left WCVB and Jacobson also stopped anchoring the 11:00 news. Jacobson also hosted the 5:00 p.m. news between 1994 and 2005. She continues to host several specials for the station.
