Len Jennings, most recently the primary weeknight anchor at WBBH-TV in Fort Myers, FL, will be joining KMBC in Kansas City.
Jennings will co-anchor with Kelly Eckerman on KMBC 9 News at 5:00 p.m. and KMBC 9 News at 9:00 p.m. on KCWE.
A Midwestern native, Jennings was the main anchor at WBBH/WZVN-TV since 1997.
”This is a great hire by KMBC,” a source who has worked with Jennings told Bottom Line. “He’s a solid anchor but more importantly he’s just a very positive individual with no ego.”
In 2005, Jennings was honored by the Associated Press for “Best Continuing Coverage” for his powerful and compelling stories on ALS advocacy and treatment.
“Len brings valuable experience with him,” says Sherrie Brown, KMBC 9 News Director. ”His reporting skills and work ethic are the perfect complement to our strong news team.”
