Meet Our Latest Friend
The Morning Routine with Rocki and Lacey recently welcomed a familiar and trusted face from local news: Stacey Skrysak of NewsChannel 20. The conversation offered listeners a meaningful look into both Stacey’s professional work and her life beyond the newsroom.
During her visit, Stacey shared details about an upcoming fundraiser benefiting the Ronald McDonald House in Springfield, Illinois, a story she is currently producing for NewsChannel 20. The fundraiser holds special significance for Stacey, not only as a journalist covering an important community event, but also on a personal level. She opened up about her own family’s experiences, including her daughter’s time in the NICU, and how the support provided by Ronald McDonald House made a lasting impact during an incredibly challenging period.
Stacey also spoke about a close friend who was supported by Ronald McDonald House during a difficult time and later went on to build a career with the organization. Being able to share both stories through her reporting has been especially meaningful to Stacey, allowing her to shed light on the real-life impact of the Ronald McDonald House mission and the families it serves right here in the community.
Beyond her work as a journalist, Stacey gave listeners a glimpse into her life as a mom navigating a busy summer season. Between coordinating camps, keeping up with summer activities, and helping plan a bar mitzvah, she shared the familiar juggling act many parents experience once the school year ends. The conversation highlighted Stacey’s ability to balance the demands of a career in news with family life, something that resonated strongly with listeners.
The visit was a reminder of why Stacey Skrysak remains such a respected and relatable voice in local news — someone who brings empathy, authenticity, and genuine connection to the stories she tells, both on air and off.
