News anchor Jeff Hogan will return to WBNS 10TV in Columbus in late August, he announced in a social media post.
Hogan’s current employer, WRAL in North Carolina, confirmed the news in a Facebook post. Hogan has spent the past seven years working as a morning anchor for WRAL.
WBNS 10TV President and General Manager Rick Rogala confirmed the station is looking forward to Hogan rejoining as a member of the Edward R. Murrow Award-winning news team.
“Jeff is passionate about our community and is a steadfast believer in the power of strong, impactful journalism. His knowledge and experience in central Ohio make him the perfect fit to tell impactful stories across platforms alongside Yolanda Harris, Angela An, Tracy Townsend, Dom Tiberi and the rest of our team,” Rogala said.
The Pennsylvania native previously served as a 10TV sports and news anchor at WBNS for 20 years. Hogan then went on to become the morning news anchor for WRAL in 2018.
A Pennsylvania native, Hogan has over 30 years of television experience, first starting out at KOSA-TV in Texas.
“What an incredible 7 and a half years at WRAL TV,” Hogan’s Facebook post said. “Amazing people and place. It’s a full circle return to 10TV – WBNS to anchor the evening news.”
