Jack Kane - WPSD Local 6

Shoutout to Michael and Levi from Aztec Moving for helping get all of my stuff into my moving truck. I’m going to miss it here and thank you all for everything!

To confirm all of your suspicions, yes I sometimes anchor newscasts in my jeans. Tonight was my last night sharing the desk with Blake Sandlin WPSD and Meteorologist Nolan Cain. I’m going to miss my time anchoring on the weekends and I appreciate all of you for your viewership and encouragement over my years on the desk!

Last night on the anchor desk for Jack Kane - WPSD Local 6 🥺 Good to see him dress up for the occasion with his finest blue jeans! We’ll miss him dearly on the weekends.

I just thought it was only fitting I leave some pieces of me behind to soften the blow for Jennifer Horbelt.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
After nearly four years at WPSD-TV, this month will be my last in Paducah. I've accepted a position with Spectrum News in Washington D.C. and I'm excited to be starting there in early April!
I started my career here back in May of 2019, two weeks after I graduated college. My first months here were hard. I was living in a brand new city, working in news full time, and I felt in over my head. Thankfully for me, this newsroom and this community welcomed me with open arms. Like any new reporter, I made my fair share of mistakes along the way, but those mistakes helped shape me into who I am today.
I've covered everything from local government to one of the worst severe weather events to ever hit this region and I'm so thankful I've been able to take all of you with me for the ride. This region will always have a special place in my heart. I want each and every one of you who tunes in to watch us anytime throughout the day to know that you've played a role in helping me grow as a reporter and as a man, and for that, I'll always be grateful.
My last day anchoring the weekend evening newscasts will be March 19th and my last day at WPSD will be on March 24th. I cannot thank you all enough for your viewership, encouragement, and friendship throughout the past four years. While I'm sad to leave, I know you'll be in more than capable hands with the rest of our crew. Thank you all so much again, and ROLL TIDE!
-Jack Kane
