She added that following these postings she will be seen on local ABC desks.
Jaclyn tweeted: “Jumping right in! What a way to start a new job.
“I’m filling in on the anchor desk for World News Now and @americathismorning all week long!
“Check your local @ABC listings and you can watch early in the AM with the rest of the insomniacs.”
The tweet was accompanied by a clip of her anchoring Tuesday’s show in which she gave further insight into the Chinese spy balloon.
In response to her news, Ginger Zee said: “Welcome!”
In response, Jaclyn explained her excitement to meet the chief meteorologist.
Meanwhile, long-term followers of Jaclyn have shared their bittersweet feelings about her new posting.
One follower tweeted: “Saw you this morning on 6ABC! Congratulations!
“You will be missed in Philly but always a pleasure to see your beautiful face and smile.”
Another added: “You, we miss you!”
The news host previously worked for ABC’s Philadelphia station WPVI-TV (branded as 6ABC Action News), where she spent three years as a reporter and anchor.
Before this, she worked for WVEC-TV, the affiliate of ABC in Norfolk, Virginia, as an anchor and general reporter.
The experienced reporter also launched a public safety announcement, which aired on ABC-owned stations across the country.
The public safety announcement on anti-Asian hate crimes was both suggested and completed by Jaclyn.
She has now moved to New York as one of ABC’s new Multi-Platform reporters alongside Melissa Adan who has also been given the role in Los Angeles.
In a Facebook post, Jaclyn remarked how “surreal” her new posting is, calling it a “dream” come true.
She wrote: “Getting to this point has been a dream for as long as I can remember, so this is surreal, to say the least.
“I would not be here without some really incredible mentors along the way.
“10 years ago, I visited NYC for the first time: resumes in hand and decked out in the fanciest work clothes I could afford.
“I pounded the pavement, hoping someone, anyone, would give me a shot.”
She continued: “Long story short – it never happened. No one gave me the time of day (I don’t blame them either).
“I write this short tale to say, you’ll get a million no’s but it only takes one yes to change your career…I’m brimming with excitement to put in the work. Let’s go!”
