Erin Sullivan joined the NBC15 team in the fall of 2020 as a weekday morning anchor and reporter for The Morning Show. She also rotates anchoring NBC15 News at 11 a.m.
Erin came to Madison from Joplin, Missouri where she worked at the NBC affiliate KSNF for more than 3 years. There, she was a weekday morning and noon anchor, producer, and reporter. Prior to those roles, she worked as the weekend evening anchor and producer, and as a reporter.
Born and raised in Littleton, Colorado, Erin is no stranger to snowy winters. She graduated with her Bachelor’s in Broadcast Journalism and Communication from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2017.
During her time at CU Boulder, Erin interned at Aurora TV and Rocky Mountain PBS in Denver. At PBS she worked for the station’s investigative unit to help produce in-depth segments for the show "Insight with John Ferrugia."
Erin also traveled across Cuba in 2016, working as a videographer for the CU News Corps documentary “¿Cómo fue?: A Cuban Journey.” She and her team followed the former Mayor of Denver, Guillermo Vidal, back to his birthplace in Cuba. Vidal came to the United States as a child during the Cuban Missile Crisis. “¿Cómo fue?” has since been featured in more than eight national film festivals.
When she’s off the clock Erin loves to hike and snowboard. She lives in Madison with her husband and their two cats.
