Sabrina Bates is leaving her KOCO 5 Oklahoma City weekend meteorologist position for Heart Television sister station WLWT News 5 Cincinnati, Ohio.
"I can’t wait to get back to the Midwest," Bates posted. "The Queen City will soon be home, but a piece of my heart will always be in Oklahoma. Thank you for the love, support, and trust over the years. We still have one more week together."
Bates joined KOCO 5 in 2020 from KFSM 5 in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where she forecast for northwest Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma as a weekend meteorologist and reported as the weekday science reporter.
Sabrina graduated from Valparaiso University with a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology, along with secondary disciplines in Mathematics and Digital Media. She interned with WGN Chicago, WSBT22 South Bend, Indiana, and WIFR News Rockford, Illinois.
