New Reporter Now on Air at KATV

Ok caught the tail end of a report from new KATV reporter Leland Vittert during I believe it was the 6pm newscast. Is this his first day on the air or have I missed seeing him before? And as I type this he is filing a report about the raid on illegal gaming operations in Pine Bluff. Also noticed KARK sent its newest reporter Pete Thompson to cover the same story. BTW, no bio on KATV.com for Vittert.
