Craig Cheatham has been hired by WCPO as executive producer and reporter for the Cincinnati ABC affiliate’s investigative team.
“Craig is the perfect fit to lead the 9 On Your Side I-Team,” said Jeff Brogan, vp and GM. “His investigations grab attention and high interest and they go a step further in empowering others to make significant changes in communities; it’s right in line with the nationally recognized I-Team which has been watching out for the best interests of Cincinnatians for over 20 years.”
Cheatham had been an award-winning investigative reporter at KMOV in St. Louis for 16 years before moving to KSTP in Minneapolis to work as assistant news director. He left KSTP in June.
The station also said MMJ Tony Mirones has re-joined the investigative unit as producer and videographer. Mirones has won three Ohio Associated Press Best Photographer Awards and three Ohio Associated Press Best Editor Awards along with 10 Emmys.
