Melanie Yuill joined KXLF in December 2009 as a news reporter.  

Melanie comes to us from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  She graduated from the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Religious Studies.  While at Maryland, she worked as a reporter on their student run newscast, Capital News Service and the weekly Maryland sports show, Terrapin Timeout.  She also served as a news intern for FOX45 in Baltimore.  

She remembers covering the inauguration of President Barack Obama in Washington D.C.  She went into D.C. before the sun was up and stood in the January cold for hours filming the ceremony, the crowd's reaction and the chaotic activities generated by the huge crowds.   Melanie also spent a summer studying abroad in Salzburg, Austria at the Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change.  For this program she sayed in the same house where the movie The Sound of Music was filmed.  

Melanie enjoys traveling and is excited to be in Montana.  This will be the seventh state she has lived in.  The others are Massachusetts, Michigan, Illinois, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.  She's thrilled to have the chance to get to know Butte, its history and the people that live here.
