Kevin McNamara joined ABC24 as Weekend Anchor in July 2023, coming from sunny Pasadena in Southern California - home of the Rose Bowl. After graduating from the University of Southern California with a Master’s in Journalism, Kevin first worked at KTVL News 10 in Medford, Oregon as a reporter and anchor, where he covered devastating wildfires, COVID outbreaks & lockdowns, surging homelessness, and much more.
Kevin initially began working in entertainment after graduating from college, including on shows like HBO’s ‘Ballers’ and USA’s ‘Shooter’. Not long after, Kevin felt the bug to tell real stories and decided to go back to school for journalism. There, he fell in love with broadcast news and became a regular contributor to the nightly show, including as political correspondent.
When he isn’t out chasing the next story, you can find Kevin cheering on his hometown Dodgers and Lakers. Sorry, Grizzlies fans!
