Leaving to Join the Family

KREM (Spokane) Anchor/Reporter Jane McCarthy announced she will be leaving the station, not to spend more time with her family, but to join them.

McCarthy joined KREM as the station’s main anchor in January 2010. She anchors the station’s the station’s 4:00-5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. newscasts.

McCarthy and her husband have traded off commuting back and forth from Seattle to Spokane on weekends over the last year after he accepted a job with Seattle Public Schools.

McCarthy is leaving TV news and has accepted a position as a communication and branding specialist with Boeing Defense.

“For the last decade it’s been my privilege to tell the stories of this amazing community,” said Jane. “The people I have met here trusted me to tell their powerful stories and I want to say thank you! I hope my stories have honored them. I love this community and adore my outstanding co-workers at KREM. The only thing that could tear me apart from KREM and this community is the need to be with my family in Seattle.”

“KREM has always supported me telling stories of the inspirational people in this community and I want to say thank you to the station and our viewers by sharing their inspiration one more time,” she said.
