The move marks a return for McNiff, who was initially weekend sports anchor/reporter in 1993 at KARE 11. He later co-anchored KARE 11 Sunrise with Kim Insley. The two eventually became the longest running morning show team in the market. In 2014 Tim left KARE 11 for a position in the marketing field, but now returns to the KARE 11 morning anchor desk.
“I want people to know that I’m coming back to give them value and I’m coming back to do the absolute best job that I can,” Tim said. “They’ve got a source that they can go to in the morning to get the best possible information. That’s my job, that’s my mission and it’s a great honor and responsibility and I can’t wait to get at it.”
“Along with meteorologist Sven Sundgaard, Tim and Kim will infuse KARE 11 Sunrise with new purpose and energy,” said KARE 11 General Manager John Remes. “They are all trusted news professionals and fun people who will make Sunrise a must-watch morning show.”
McNiff’s return is slated for Tuesday, May 2nd.
