x Ann Nyberg
In November 2015, Nyberg was inducted into the prestigious Silver Circle. It’s an honor given to television professionals who have made significant contributions to their community and the vitality of the television industry. It celebrates television pioneers and is given out by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) Boston/New England Chapter. Nyberg has set the bar high and has made significant contributions to her southern New England community.

Nyberg was inducted into the Connecticut Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame in 2025. Nyberg has been continually voted “Best News Anchor” in “Connecticut Magazine” for years.

Nyberg has been nominated for multiple Emmys. Highlights of her storytelling include assignments to the communist country of Cuba, the Vatican to cover Pope John Paul II and a trip to Cher’s house for an interview.

In 2017, Nyberg was recognized by Harper’s Bazaar Magazine during its 150th anniversary as a woman of success who pays it forward.

Nyberg has been a storyteller her entire life. It all started with a diary her mother gave her for Christmas when she was just 8 years old, and the rest is history. Nyberg’s first book, “Slices of Life, A Storyteller’s Diary,” debuted in October 2015; it’s based on her diary. Her second book, published in October 2016, is on the legendary Connecticut film actress Katharine Hepburn. It is called “Remembering Katharine Hepburn: Stories of Wit and Wisdom About America’s Leading Lady.”

She began her journey in broadcast journalism immediately following graduation from Purdue University, where she earned a degree in journalism. Nyberg was a television journalist in Indiana and Oklahoma before making Connecticut her home. She and her husband have three daughters, three grandchildren and two Golden Retrievers, Trip and Sherman.

Nyberg feels strongly about philanthropy. In 1993, she founded the Toy Closet Program at Yale-New Haven Hospital. Hundreds of thousands of toys have been given to children of all ages to help ease their trauma.

A lover of the arts, Nyberg is a founding board of trustees member of the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center in Old Saybrook. It is the only theater in the world named after the iconic four-time Academy Award-winning Connecticut actress.

In 2018, Nyberg was awarded the “Spirit of Katharine Hepburn Award.” It is given annually by the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center to an individual who embodies the spirit, independence and character of the legendary four-time Academy Award-winning Connecticut actress. Others who have been awarded the bronze Statue of Hepburn are legendary talk show host Dick Cavett, Academy Award-nominated actress Glenn Close, tony and Emmy award winning actress Christine Baranski, Oscar, Grammy and Emmy award winning singer-songwriter, Cher, actor Sam Waterston, tennis legend Martina Navratilova, actress Candice Bergen, Academy award winning and activist, Jane fonda and Golden Globe winner, Annette Bening.

In 2023, Ann received the Distinguished American Award from the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame/New Haven County chapter. In 2024, Nyberg received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the University of New Haven.

Nyberg also owns a boutique in Madison, Connecticut, called Annie Mame, another great place to collect stories. It’s named in tribute to one of her favorite movies, “Auntie Mame,” which was released in 1958 and starred Rosalind Russell, a Waterbury native.]]> college-arts-sciences-advisory-board-member
