Kevin Holmes will join the evening anchor desk at Minneapolis NBC affiliate KARE beginning April 13. Holmes will co-anchor the 6 and 10 p.m. weekday newscasts alongside Julie Nelson.
Matt Kummer, news director at KARE 11, said Holmes’s depth of experience behind the anchor desk and his ability to deliver news with objectivity and accuracy make him a valuable addition to an already top-notch journalism team.
Holmes joins the station after a nine-year tenure as an anchor and reporter at KSHB in Kansas City, Missouri. He also served as a news anchor and reporter at WJCL-TV in Savannah, and as a news reporter at WRAL-TV in Raleigh, as well as at HeartMedia and WPTY/WLMT-TV in Memphis, Tennessee.
“We have an incredible team of journalists telling the stories of our community to an ever-growing audience,” Kummer said. “We’re confident that Kevin’s experience, personality and expertise will connect with our local viewers and represent our community accurately to everyone watching our coverage.”
“I’m honored to join a station so deeply committed to the community it serves and to practicing thoughtful, responsible journalism,” Holmes said. “KARE 11’s long-standing tradition of outstanding reporting is something I deeply admire, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to that legacy.”
Holmes is a graduate of Lake Forest College.
