He had been with NBC 23 KVEO since March 2023, where he also hosted "Inside Valley Politics."
McCaffrey first arrived in the Valley in 2016 as a reporter and anchor at KRGV 5 and quickly discovered it was where he wanted to stay.
His career eventually took him to the national stage at Fox News Channel in Washington, where he produced for Special Report.
He later held leadership and anchoring roles across the country, including serving as news director and anchor at KXLF in southwest Montana and as managing editor and lead anchor at WICZ in Binghamton, New York. McCaffrey has also contributed reporting to national outlets, including RFD-TV and NEWSnet.

Correspondent Stephanie Sy posts that the PBS News Hour West bureau in Phoenix has signed off as of December 2025:
"In the face of budget realities, the NewsHour West bureau is closing today. Some of us are staying with NewsHour, but other positions were sadly eliminated. Since late 2019, the West bureau has provided dozens of PBS stations with an updated version of the news summary contained in every night’s program. Without the 24-7 staffing available to larger commercial networks, it was our way of making sure our stations in the Western time zones had the most up to date news at 6 pm pt when our NewsHour DC folks had already finished their day."
