Justin Wells
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Justin Wells is a news producer for Fox Television in New York, NY. Wells began his television career in 1999 with the Fox Owned and Operated television station in Tampa, Florida, WTVT. He then became a producer for WPTV (NBC) in West Palm Beach, Florida followed by a jump to WPLG (ABC) in Miami, Florida. He quickly moved to the CBS Owned and Operated station in Miami, WFOR, where he eventually became producer of the station's top-rated 11pm news with Maggie Rodriguez and Robb Hanrahan. In December 2006, Justin left Miami for the Fox flagship station in New York City, WNYW.
Wells was instrumental in coverage of several hurricanes that hit Florida in 2004 & 2005. Television Week featured his analysis in many articles reporting on best coverage of natural disasters. The Miami Herald applauded coverage on WFOR, where Wells remained in the control room, not moving from the 'hot seat' for at least 12 hours each night a hurricane was approaching and moving through the state. He worked alongside CBS News Hurricane Analyst Bryan Norcross.
As word of Fidel Castro's transfer of power broke in Summer of 2006, Wells was in the WFOR control room, and gave the go ahead to break into network programming. WFOR was the first United States media organization to break the news. It remained on the air throughout the evening. The Miami Herald, once again, published praise for superior coverage of the event on WFOR.
Wells has also covered other big stories like the War in Iraq, Space Shuttle Columbia tragedy, tornados that ripped through Palm Beach County, and was at the center of countless breaking news stories in Miami and across Florida.
