Erin Sullivan

Erin Sullivan anchors First Alert 6 newscasts at 5, 6, and 10 p.m. on weeknights and reports, including for First Alert 6 Investigates.

From helping families protect their finances to showcasing life-changing medical breakthroughs and exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming education, Erin’s storytelling reflects the people and progress of the Omaha metro.

In 2025, Erin’s anchoring at 5 p.m. was recognized when her team received Nebraska’s Best Newscast from the Nebraska Broadcasters Association. She also anchored the 10 p.m. newscast that earned Best Spot Weather Coverage for the team’s reporting on a historic March blizzard.

Before joining the First Alert 6 team, Erin anchored and reported for WMTV in Madison, Wisconsin. Her reporting there ranged from in-depth coverage of the state’s mental health and substance use crises to sharing the stories of Ukrainian refugees rebuilding their lives in the Midwest. She even took flight in a Black Hawk helicopter to give viewers a firsthand look at military training and missions in the region.

She earned an Emmy nomination for her coverage of growing sobriety movements in Wisconsin's drinking-heavy culture — a story she connected to personally by openly sharing her own path to sobriety with viewers.

Erin began her broadcasting career at KSNF in Joplin, Missouri, as an anchor and reporter. A Colorado native, she’s a proud graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism and Communications.

She lives in Omaha with her husband and their two cats. When she’s not in the newsroom, Erin enjoys hiking, discovering new restaurants, and emceeing community events.
