WCPO Cincinnati Adds Meteorologist And Traffic Reporter Cameron Hardin

Scripps-owned ABC affiliate WCPO Cincinnati is adding a new meteorologist to its 9 First Warning Weather team: Cameron Hardin.

Hardin is an AMS certified meteorologist. He holds three bachelor’s degrees from Purdue University in meteorology, agricultural communications and general communications. He continued his education at Purdue earning a master’s in strategic communications.

“We are pleased to welcome Cameron to the WCPO 9 family,” said Barry Fulmer, news director. “He is a talented meteorologist who is working in a city he and his family call home.”

In 2019, Hardin worked at WLWT Cincinnati for nearly three years. He also worked at WLFI West Lafayette, Ind., from 2015 to 2018 and as a freelance meteorologist for Scripps’ WEWS Cleveland between 2018 and 2022.

Hardin’s first morning day on the air is Feb. 23 during WCPO 9 News at Noon. His first day on Good Morning Tri-State Weekend is Feb. 25.

9 First Warning Weather Forecaster and Reporter Raven Richard will join meteorologist Jennifer Ketchmark and anchors Adrian Whitsett and Kristen Skovira weekday mornings on Good Morning Tri-State. She’s been helping people with their commutes as traffic reporter a few days a week. On Feb. 20, she’ll transition to that position full time and fill in as weather forecaster throughout the week.

Good Morning Tri-State airs weekdays at 4:30-7 a.m. and Good Morning Tri-State Weekend airs Saturday and Sunday 5-7 a.m. and 8-9 a.m.
