Laura Hussey

  • Morning Anchor, WEAR Channel 3 News

Biography

Laura Hussey is a professional broadcaster with more than 25 years’ experience in radio and TV. She co-anchors the top-rated “3 in the Morning” newscast, weekdays from 4:30-7:00 on WEAR Channel 3 News in Pensacola.

Laura came to Channel 3 in 2007, starting as the Okaloosa County bureau reporter. She’s interviewed state and national leaders, but treasures the stories of people in our community, sharing the good times and helping each other through the tough times.

Her story proves you don’t always have to take the traditional path. The road to TV news wound through a dozen great years in Country radio, another nine in TV production, various acting gigs, and a summer performing beach weddings. She believes in hard work and preparation, but also serendipity, faith, and an open heart. 

Laura and her fiancée Will Estell, a publisher and media consultant, split their time between Gulf Breeze and Destin. They’re passionate promoters of our little slice of paradise, and the talented people who keep Northwest Florida thriving.
