Chad Hedrick joined WKYT in February 2021.
Before coming to central Kentucky, he spent six years at WKYT’s sister station, WSAZ in Huntington, WV where he climbed the ranks from part-time weekend photographer to reporter and weekend anchor.
While at WSAZ, Chad’s primary focus was on eastern Kentucky, including his hometown in Boyd County.
Chad has enjoyed being able to cover his home state these last several years, seeing it as a way of giving back to his community. He is passionate about meeting people, telling their stories, and doing what he can to help them.
He is a Morehead State grad, and an avid Kentucky Wildcat fan.
Chad loves connecting with viewers on social media. You can find him on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
