Emmy award winning journalist, Trina Robinson, has proven her talents to South Florida viewers as an experienced anchor, reporter and meteorologist. Robinson began working at NBC 6 in September of 1999 and has become one of WTVJ's most visible and versatile reporters. Her wide range of duties also include being a weather anchor and co-host of South Florida Today.

In addition to winning an Emmy for her story in the 2007 Hurricane Special, Trina has reincarnated herself again with her on-going feature “Trina Tries It.” In this fun segment, Trina takes on mild adventures suggested by South Florida viewers, which highlight the amazingly dynamic and active community we live in.

Robinson came to WTVJ from KYW in Philadelphia where she anchored the 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. newscasts. Prior to KYW, she worked in Tampa, Orlando, Fort Myers, South Carolina and Virginia. Her commitment to news parallels her dedication to “giving people information that can improve and even change their lives,” she says.

She recently demonstrated her strong commitment to excellence in journalism by uncovering an underground network of women illegally giving and receiving silicone injections to improve their beauty. The story aired prior to the death of one woman who had the injections. It led to a number of arrests of unlicensed medical practitioners and garnered national and international attention and garnered her numerous local and national awards.

Robinson received a Liberal Arts degree from the College of Notre Dame in Baltimore, a graduate degree in Journalism and Public Affairs from the American University in Washington, D.C. and did her course work in Meteorology at Mississippi State University.

Robinson, who comes from a family of six children, says one of their favorite pastimes was to gather together to tell elaborate and colorful stories. Little did she know that concocting tall tales would later help her relate the stories of real people with compassion and caring.

Robinson is married to Clarence V. McKee, Esq., a local attorney and lobbyist for Ruden McClosky Consulting. In her spare time, she enjoys in-line skating, jogging and reading. Additional hobbies include traveling and cooking.
