Shelby Kluver joined WQAD as a multi-skilled journalist in August 2020.
Born and raised in South Dakota, Shelby moved to Chicago to pursue a broadcast degree from Loyola University Chicago. While she loves the city, moving to the Quad Cities - with the cornfields and close-knit communities - felt like moving back home, and she couldn't be happier.
Since she began her career at WQAD, Shelby has worked mornings, nights, and weekends capturing pandemic struggles, community events, striking worker concerns, hospital injustices, and high school football highlights.
Now as an anchor, she's also worked to bring daily segments to life on The Current on News 8 at 4 p.m., covering current news and events, with James Zahara on weather. She also co-anchors News 8 at 6 with Jon Diaz. As part of her duties, Shelby finds and produces two live-guest segments each day on The Current, as well as special series, including Women In Sports, What's Brewing, Flashback Friday and Current Reads.
Shelby is a huge supporter of local sports and can often be found cheering on the Quad City Storm, Steamwheelers and Bandits. She loves to cook, try out new restaurants and explore all of the towns that make up News 8 viewing country.
