In celebration of Black History Month, the Wichita Falls Alliance for Arts and Culture showcases some significant individuals within our community. The features will appear in the Times Record News each Sunday in February.

Brittney Cottingham is a decision maker with an opinion.

Perhaps that’s why she is the executive producer of KFDX-TV here in Wichita Falls.  Brittney grew up in Wichita Falls and graduated from Rider High School in 2008.  After high school, she studied for a year at Columbia College in Chicago but returned to Midwestern State University to complete her studies in mass communication in 2013.

A short conversation with this young woman tells you that she has a love for ideas.  “Growing up, I lived in the world of books and reading,” she shared, “and seeing women leaders and heroines in magazines just transformed me.”
