WCPO anchor Craig McKee is trading one Scripps station for another.
McKee is leaving Cincinnati ABC affiliate to work at Scripps owned KNXV in Phoenix, Arizona.
In a long social post, McKee explained why he was moving back to his wife’s home state, saying in part, “When we left her home state of Arizona in 2002, she told me she would one day want to go back,” he wrote. “I had planned to leave the industry at the end of this year to focus on making that a reality. During our transition and preparations for this next chapter, an Anchoring and Reporting opportunity became available at our Scripps-owned ABC affiliate KNXV in Phoenix, Arizona.”
“This position will allow me to continue focusing on family, including our granddaughter in Arizona, while also continuing the work I love in journalism,” he added.
During his 10 years at WCPO 9, Craig has made a big impact with veterans in our community. His ‘Homefront’ segment has rightfully highlighted the stories and needs of our veterans, and his efforts have been pivotal in bringing attention to critical issues within the Hamilton County Veterans Service Commission. Thanks to Craig’s reporting, valuable services have been restored, and he has dedicated countless hours connecting with veteran groups throughout the community.
He’ll be on the air through June.
