An insider tells me that Joel Brown is the latest hire at WSVN and he comes from KETK NBC56 in Tyler, TX. He replaces Andre Hepkins and starts next week
His KETK bio
Before I started here at the station, I’d never been to Texas before in my life, so I really didn’t know what to expect. But, now that I’m here, I’ll admit the cowboy hats and 75-degree days in January are starting to suit me just fine.
Just keep that between you and me, though; my roots are in the east coast. Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, I went to school in Washington, DC to become a reporter. And after graduating, East Texas just seemed right.
While I know I have a lot to learn about being a Texan, I am adjusting. Being out in East Texas everyday, doing what I love, telling stories, is making things a lot easier.
I’m having a good time meeting new people everyday on my different assignments. So if you see me out somewhere and call me “that TV guy”, I’ll answer.
But, you can always just call me Joel.
