Tina Nguyen joins WXYZ and The Spot Detroit 20 as a Sports Anchor, where she’ll be covering everything from the Lions, Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings to the region’s top college programs.
Before heading to Detroit, Tina spent three years at FOX 32 Chicago, covering one of the country's most passionate sports markets. She reported on every major Chicago team, including the Bears, Cubs, Bulls, White Sox, Blackhawks, and Sky.
Prior to Chicago, Tina helped build the sports department at KTNV ABC13 in Las Vegas. During her time there, she covered some of the city’s biggest sports moments, including the Vegas Golden Knights’ Stanley Cup championship, the Las Vegas Aces’ WNBA title runs, Formula 1, and the NFL Draft.
Tina also worked with the National Basketball Association, where she hosted WNBA News on Instagram and created digital content for the league’s social media platforms, reaching an audience of more than 37 million people.
For Tina, joining Detroit is about more than covering great teams. It’s about becoming part of a community that lives and breathes sports. She’s excited to experience the city's traditions, meet its passionate fans, and tell the stories that bring Detroit sports to life.
"This is an amazing opportunity to be in a city that is so passionate about sports and to cover teams with such rich histories like the Pistons, Lions, Tigers and Red Wings, along with the top college programs across the region,” said Tina. "I cannot wait to learn more about the city and get to know the people who call Detroit home.”
The daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, Tina credits her parents’ sacrifice and determination for giving her the opportunity to pursue her own American dream.
She added, “My parents immigrated to the United States from Vietnam to build a better life for their family. Their story is a constant reminder of what is possible through sacrifice, hard work and opportunity. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to pursue my own version of the American dream, and I carry their journey with me in everything I do. To have the chance to lead sports coverage in a city like Detroit is something I am deeply grateful for, and I hope my journey can inspire other young people to pursue their own dreams, too.”
A Texas native, Tina is a proud graduate of Texas A&M University.
