Evan Onstot
AnchorEvan Onstot anchors KOCO 5 News at 5:00 p.m. 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. weekdays, with co-anchor Jessica Schambach, Abigail Ogle and Chief Meteorologist Damon Lane.
He joined KOCO 5 News after years anchoring and reporting for stations in Texas, California, Montana and Missouri.
Onstot’s mission every day is to report and share stories that matter to his neighbors and viewers. Coverage that is thorough and fair, always asking the tough questions, but never taking sides.
His reporting has led to the arrest of a shady business operator and help for numerous victims. His coverage from Dallas to mark the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy Assassination earned him statewide honors. His live reporting from the 2016 national political conventions was broadcast by five stations in four states. He also moderated a host of candidate debates leading to the 2018 midterm elections, including California’s gubernatorial race and local congressional, city council and mayoral contests.
Evan’s wife, Julie, is a proud Sooner and even interned at KOCO 5 News herself, while studying journalism at OU. They look forward to Saturday morning tailgates in Norman with their young children, Austen and Grey.
Speaking of the kids, if you have favorite local family activities and events to share with the Onstot family, they want to know! You can send your email to Evan.Onstot@hearst.com or connect on Facebook or Twitter.
Evan and Julie are thrilled to be able to raise their family here at home in Oklahoma City, and Evan looks forward to seeing you every weeknight on KOCO 5 News.
