Brooke Smith

Brooke Smith (born c. 1981 in Albertville) is a television personality on NBC 13.

Smith, as a senior at the University of Alabama, was the runner-up contestant on the second season of The Bachelor, filmed in 2002. In 2003, Smith took a job at NBC 13 as the morning traffic reporter. Over the years, she moved up to the anchor desk. In 2009, the station created Daytime Alabama for Smith, who was later joined by Wendy Garner as co-host.

Smith decided to step down from the daily show in 2010 to take care of her daughter, Gracie. At the time, she said she planned to be on air one day a week and continue to contribute to the show. David Lamb, former anchor at CBS 42, joined Garner that July as the show's co-host.
