Starting in June, Russ McCaskey will join Karen Borta as co-anchor of CBS 11 News This Morning. This news comes nearly eight months after former co-anchor, Brendan Higgins, was fired.
McCaskey has strong local ties and is a graduate of TCU. After 15 years at KJRH in Tulsa, McCaskey says in a press release: "I am thrilled to be returning home. It's the best possible scenario to be able to do a job you love, in a place you love and as a bonus, be close to family and friends."
He has received nine regional EMMY Awards and covered major stories such as the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
To see McCaskey in action, tune into CBS 11 from 4:30-7 a.m. on weekdays beginning June 1. -FWTX Staff
