Provided by Zac Pitts

Reporter Zac Pitts is leaving WCPO-TV to return to Dayton’s WDTN-TV, the hometown station where he started his career as a teleprompter operator.

Pitts has been a Channel 9 daytime general assignment reporter for 18 months.

Starting Oct. 21, he will appear on Channel 2's “Living Dayton” noon-1 p.m. weekday lifestyle show with co-hosts Katie Kenney and Sallie Taylor, according to TVNewsCheck.

The Dayton area native is a graduate of Chaminade-Julienne High School and the University of Dayton, TVNewsCheck reported.

Before joining Channel 9 in March 2014, he was a reporter-anchor at WLIO-TV in Lima, and a reporter for WTVG-TV in Toledo.

His first career goal “was to work in a city where my parents could watch me on TV. Well, I did it!” according to his Channel 9 bio

Pitts also said in the Channel 9 post that he loved living in the Tristate because “first and foremost, I love being close to home. It’s something that is very important to me. Aside from that, I love that there’s always something to do on almost any given night!”

John Kiesewetter, who has covered television and media for more than 35 years, has been working for Cincinnati Public Radio and WVXU-FM since 2015.
