Kimberly Adams is a US broadcast journalist who spent years as a TV and radio anchor in Philadelphia, hosted business reports for Bloomberg Radio from late 2022, and left Bloomberg in the network’s October 2025 layoffs. Her name is easy to confuse with at least two other journalists, and many bio sites mix them up. This page separates what’s documented from what’s guesswork, and links every major claim to its source.

Which Kimberly Adams is this?
Three media figures with near-identical names show up in searches:
| This article | Marketplace host | WDIV Detroit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Kimberly Adams | Kimberly Adams | Kim Adams |
| Field | Business radio, anchor | Public radio | TV weather |
| Known employers | KYW, Bloomberg Radio | American Public Media’s Marketplace | WDIV Local 4 |
| Background | Philadelphia; La Salle University | Cairo reporting; University of Missouri | Detroit; Oakland and Wayne State |
The Marketplace host was named the new host of Marketplace Morning Report starting June 8, 2026, and her Boston University faculty profile lists the Cairo and Missouri details. The WDIV meteorologist has her own biography here.
The confusion is so common that one journalist directory lists a press release about the Marketplace host under the Bloomberg journalist’s profile.
A 30-second test for any “Kimberly Adams” page you land on:
- Does it mention Cairo, Egypt, the Arab Spring or the University of Missouri? That’s the Marketplace host.
- Does it mention Detroit, WDIV, WXYZ or weather? That’s Kim Adams, the meteorologist.
- Does it mention KYW, Philadelphia, La Salle University or Bloomberg Radio? That’s the journalist this page covers.
- Does it mix items from two of those lists? Then the page is merging two people, and its other facts shouldn’t be trusted either.

Career timeline
Exact years for the early stops aren’t published, so the order below follows how her official bios present them, not a verified calendar.
| Stage | Outlet | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Early career | WFPG radio | Early radio work |
| TV | WTEN (Albany), KXAS (Dallas), WPIX and WNBC (New York) | Anchor / reporter |
| TV | KYW-TV, Philadelphia | Anchor; Philadelphia Magazine “Best Morning Anchor” |

Philadelphia years
Her KYW bio says her proudest moment as a broadcaster was being hired as the youngest anchor at KYW-TV. Readers of Philadelphia Magazine later voted her “Best Morning Anchor” (the year isn’t given). She also anchored an international newscast seen in South Africa, the UK and the United States.
Radio was where she started, and KYW Newsradio let her return to it. She credits early radio time with Mike DeNardo at WFPG. Her KYW stories ranged from local politics and community events to consumer and public-health news.
Bloomberg Radio
Bloomberg Radio hired her as a host in New York, reported October 20, 2022. Her job was to deliver business reports on affiliates including KYW, and she was also heard on WBZ in Boston and KMOX in St. Louis. KYW’s connection mattered: the station is one of Bloomberg’s major affiliates, which is how a local anchor became a national voice without leaving her home market’s network.
In October 2025, Barrett Media reported that Bloomberg Radio had gone through a round of layoffs and that she was departing as a correspondent. The same round also took out the network’s head of global radio and TV syndication, Michael Lysak, so her exit was part of a wider cut rather than a single personnel move. Talking Biz News later confirmed she was among those let go, noting she’d been with Bloomberg for about three years.
Education
She’s a graduate of La Salle University in Philadelphia. Published bios don’t list her degree, major or graduation year, so we don’t either.
Bio-site claims that don’t hold up
Several celebrity-bio sites rank for her name. Here’s what to be careful with:
| Claim on bio sites | Why it’s unreliable |
|---|---|
| “Works in Cairo, Egypt” or “award-winning Cairo correspondent” | This is Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams |
| “Graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia” | Also Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams |
| “Born August 3, 1963” and “62 years old” | No source given; other sites say her age isn’t public |
| Net worth “$1–5 million,” salary “$40,000–$110,500 | Identical figures are pasted across sites for different people, with no source |
| “Currently at Bloomberg” | Outdated; trade reports say she left in October 2025 |
We haven’t used any of these.
Age, family and husband
Her age, birthday and height aren’t published by any reliable source. She hasn’t made her marriage or family part of any public bio we could find, and we haven’t filled that gap with rumor. Some sites say she’s married with children; none cite her.
Net worth, salary and income
There’s no verified net worth or salary for Kimberly Adams. Bloomberg and Audacy don’t publish staff pay, and nothing in her public record points to a number. Her income has come from employment as an anchor, host and correspondent. Contract terms are private. Treat any dollar figure online as a guess.
Where is she now?
After the October 2025 layoff, we found no announcement of a new full-time role. Some journalist directories, including Muck Rack, still describe her as a Bloomberg correspondent, but those profiles are self-managed and undated. Her status as of October 2026 is (unverified). If you need current contact details, check her public social profiles or a recent byline.
How we researched this page
Every career fact above comes from a named outlet: trade press (Talking Biz News, Barrett Media), her employers’ own bios (Bloomberg Media, KYW Newsradio) and a professional directory. We did not use celebrity-bio aggregators for any fact. Where a fact doesn’t exist publicly (birthday, family, pay), the article says so rather than guessing. Where sources are undated (her Bloomberg and KYW bios), the article says that too.
| Source type | How we used it | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Trade press (Talking Biz News, Barrett Media) | Hire date, layoffs, education | Short items; no personal details |
| Employer bios (Bloomberg Media, KYW) | Career history, awards | Undated; written by the employer |
| Journalist directories (Muck Rack) | Beat and location | Self-managed; can be outdated or misfiled |
| Celebrity-bio aggregators | Not used | Unsourced, contradictory, mix up people |
