KPHO brings Sean McLaughlin back to Phoenix

Meredith Corp.’s KPHO announced today that veteran broadcaster Sean McLaughlin will return to Phoenix to multiple roles including chief meteorologist, news anchor and reporter for CBS 5 News.

The announcement was made by Steven D. Hammel, KPHO vice president and general manager. “I am thrilled that Sean decided to return to Phoenix. His dedication to excellence and to his huge fan base here will serve our viewers well. Sean’s reuniting with Kent Dana will be a big plus for the quality that viewers have come to expect with CBS 5 News,” said Hammel.

McLaughlin will join the CBS 5 News team early this fall once his duties as MSNBC weekday chief meteorologist and Sunday meteorologist on NBC’s Weekend Today are wrapped up. Prior to joining NBC in 2004, McLaughlin was the chief meteorologist, anchor and general assignment reporter for KPNX Phoenix.
