"ABC News Live Prime" and "World News Tonight - Sunday" anchor Linsey Davis will deliver the top stories in ABC News Radio's national 5pm ET newscast Monday to Thursday each week, effective September 26. The live newscast is available to affiliates across the ABC News Radio network and is distributed as a podcast updated hourly on all major podcast platforms.

Davis anchors "ABC News Live Prime with Linsey Davis," which is ABC News Live's first-ever streaming evening newscast, and "World News Tonight - Sunday." She also serves as a correspondent filing reports for "World News Tonight with David Muir," "Good Morning America," "20/20" and "Nightline."

"Linsey is the triple threat of ABC News. She anchors the evening news on broadcast TV, ABC's live streaming channel and now on radio," said ABC Audio Vice President Liz Alesse. "It's a testament to her dedication to reaching audiences across the country on all platforms."

As anchor of ABC News Radio's 5pm drivetime newscast, Davis steps into a role held by late "ABC World News Tonight" anchor Peter Jennings and former "Good Morning America" co-anchor Charlie Gibson.
