Mark Rigsby has always focused on local news. When he arrived at KSWO in 2022, he brought nearly 30 years of industry experience on both sides of the camera.
An alum of Georgia Southern University, Mark began his career in Washington, D.C. in 1993. In the years since, he's worked as a reporter, anchor, executive producer and news director. He's covered Nelson Mandela, four major hurricanes, West Virginia's Upper Big Branch mine disaster, and more.
Mark says it's truly a pleasure to serve the people of southwest Oklahoma as evening news anchor at KSWO.
