“For three decades viewers have seen Jack on the sidelines with a camera covering local sports and we’re excited to see him expand his talents to the news side of the anchor desk,” said Melissa Jones, WDTN-TV & Dayton’s CW Vice President & General Manager. “Jack was born and raised in the Miami Valley, like many of our on-air talent and we know he’ll take great pride in delivering the news each night in the place he’s called home.”
Pohl was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio and is an alum of Centerville High School. He went on to attend Wright State University.
Pohl joined the 2 NEWS team in 1995 as a reporter and anchor and has been the 2 Sports Director since 2002.
Pohl will be joined by Brooke Moore and Storm Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Brian Davis to co-anchor 2 NEWS First at 4. He’ll also co-anchor 2 NEWS at 5, 6, 10 and 11.
“After years of covering sports in every corner of the Miami Valley, I have always felt completely connected to this community and look forward to delivering the news alongside Brooke Moore,” said Pohl. “This is my hometown, I’m proud of it and appreciate all the support from our loyal Channel 2 viewers.”
Pohl, a father of two, enjoys skiing and biking in his spare time. He’s also been blessed with five grandchildren.
