Edward “Teddy” Byrne is a Producer and Writer at WGCU on the “Southwest Florida in Focus” TV show team. After earning degrees in Journalism and Psychology from Keene State College Teddy settled in Southwest Florida starting with a job with WINK News.  As a Sports Producer there, he had the opportunity to tag along with the FGCU Men’s Basketball team during their epic “Dunk City” adventure to the Sweet 16 in 2013.  

A trip back to the newsroom led to him becoming part of the NBC2/ABC7 team that spent multiple days covering Hurricane Ian. Now, he says he feels privileged to help develop strong newsworthy content to residents of Southwest Florida at WGCU.
