“Russ is a very skilled journalist with deep Texas roots,” said CBS 11 Vice President of News Mike Garber. “It’s going to be terrific to have two native North Texans side-by-side on the anchor desk each morning.”
McCaskey was most recently the 5, 6 and 10 p.m. news anchor at KJRH in Tulsa. Prior to that, he was a news anchor and reporter for KWTV in Oklahoma City. He has also worked as an anchor and reporter at KXII in Sherman.
"I am thrilled to be returning home,” McCaskey said. “It's the best possible scenario to be able to do a job you love, in a place you love and as a bonus, be close to family and friends."
Born in Dallas, McCaskey graduated from Plano Senior High School and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Texas Christian University. He has been recognized for his work by the Oklahoma Associated Press Broadcasters, the Oklahoma Society of Professional Journalists, and the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters. He has also received nine regional EMMY Awards.
