Ruth Todd is an award-winning Salt Lake City television news anchor. She most recently worked in television for KTVX ABC4. Todd joined the ABC4 news team in December 2001, but first appeared on-air April 15, 2002 as the station's lead female anchor. Her last newscast was February 28, 2007, after her five-year contract expired.
Todd began her broadcasting career at KBYU-TV while a student at Brigham Young University. After graduating, she began as a reporter and newsbrief anchor at KUTV News in Salt Lake City. She has been a reporter and anchor in Phoenix, Arizona at KTVK and both the ABC and CBS stations in Washington, D.C.
Todd joined KSL Television in 1992 as anchorwoman for "Eyewitness News Saturday Morning". She was then assigned to co-anchor "Eyewitness News at Noon" with Steve Eagar. Todd became a quick favorite of Utah viewers and two and a half years later, she joined Dick Nourse on the top-rated "Eyewitness News at 10 p.m."
After ten years, Todd and KSL parted ways after both could not come to terms on a new contract deal. She left Channel 5 and joined KTVX channel 4 on December 13, 2001.
Todd joined News 4 Utah as co-anchor of "ABC 4 News" at 10 p.m. She was first paired with veteran Salt Lake news anchor Randall Carlisle. In 2004, Terry Wood became Ruth's co-anchor at 10. From 1994 to 1996, Todd, Carlisle and Wood were all late-night competitors on different stations (On channels 5, 4 and 2, respectively). In 2001, Ruth and Wood both worked at KSL, with Wood co-anchoring with former KTVX anchor Kim Johnson. Todd and Wood later became primary anchors for KTVX, competing against former KSL colleagues, Nourse and Nadine Wimmer.
Todd worked from 2010 to 2013 as a spokeswoman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Todd is currently employed by Nu Skin Enterprises.
