Zach Klein

Zach Klein comes to Atlanta from Cox sister station WFTV in Orlando where he was Sports Anchor for the 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. newscasts. He joined the Channel 9 Sports team in June of 2003 as the weekend anchor and weekday reporter.

Klein, a native of Chicago, fell in love with broadcasting in high school after realizing his only chance to make it in sports was to be on the other side of the microphone. He received his degree from the University of Kansas in 1996.

Klein’s first television journalism job was producing sports for WDAF in Kansas City. A year later, he finally talked the station into letting him report on high school, college and professional sports.

Next he joined KOKH-TV in Oklahoma City in June of 1999, where he was named the Sports Director.
