Conestoga High School graduate Kasie Hunt, an NBC correspondent who covers Capitol Hill, will anchor a new show, Way Too Early with Kasie DC, at 5 AM as a lead-in to MSNBC’s Morning Joe, writes Ellen Gray for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Hunt, who earned her Kasie DC moniker while working on her previous MSNBC show on Sunday nights, plans to continue her reporting on Capitol Hill.

“The schedule is a little bit of a challenge, and we’re going to have to work that out,” said Hunt, who was born in Michigan but grew up in Wayne. “I think it’s really important to make sure I’m still covering the beat and that the lawmakers that I’ve talked to and work with every day are seeing me in hallways.”

Although many people think that being a White House correspondent is a more glamorous job, Hunt believes that “covering Capitol Hill is the best beat in Washington.”

“I just love that you work every day in a building that’s got 535 sources just wandering around, who all have various degrees of interest in talking to you,” she said. “You have a lot more freedom than you do in the White House press briefing room.”
