Renee Chenault-Fattah (born October 12, 1957 in Littleton, Colorado) is a former co-anchor of the WCAU NBC 10 News at 4 and 6 p.m. on weeknights in Philadelphia. She is married to former U.S. Congressman Chaka Fattah of the 2nd Congressional District of Pennsylvania.
Chenault-Fattah majored in political science at Johns Hopkins University, and went on to earn her J.D. at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She worked at Hughes Hubbard & Reed, a law firm in New York, and then clerked for Judge Damon Keith of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. She then began her media career, earning a master's degree in journalism at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri.
She joined the station in September 1991, and served as an anchor and a reporter. After a few years anchoring the now-defunct noon broadcast with Tim Lake, she was promoted to the 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. news in March 1995. In 2003, Lake joined Chenault as co-anchor at 4 p.m., 6 p.m., and 11 p.m., after she had spent 8 years co-anchoring newscasts at 6 and 11, first with Ken Matz and then with Larry Mendte.
Chenault is one of several minority females to have anchored evening weekday newscasts in Philadelphia. The others include former KYW-TV Eyewitness News anchors Beverly Williams and Alycia Lane and WPVI-TV Action News anchor Lisa Thomas-Laury.
