Longtime Twin Cities anchor Robyne Robinson has resigned her position with KMSP-TV (Fox 9) and likely will head across town to pitch her own jewelry designs on ShopNBC.  Her jewelry is already on sale in a number of boutiques in New York City and Santa Fe, NM.  “The first African-American to anchor a [Twin Cities] prime-time newscast, Robinson is also part of the longest-serving nightly anchor news team in the Twin Cities with her co-anchor of 14 years, Jeff Passolt.”  She is giving up one celebrated career in hopes of repeating that success in another.  Welcome to TV shopping, Ms. Robinson.  St. Paul Pioneer Press May 11, 2010

Fox TV 9 news anchor Robyne Robinson is reportedly in talks with ShopNBC to bring her jewelry line to the network.  What began as a hobby making pieces for friends has gathered momentum.  The anchor/designer has found a fan in pop star Beyonce, and has just returned from a trunk show in Los Angeles.  Next on her agenda is a buying trip to Greece and Egypt.  St. Paul Pioneer Press Apr. 13, 2010
