A few year’s later Kyle joined another future Myrtle Beach television station and helped build the first full High Definition television station in the world when WMBF News launched in August of 2008. In 2012, Kyle moved to WVLT where he serves as Sevier County Bureau Chief and a meteorologist.
Kyle is involved in the community by serving on the Sevier County Food Ministries Steering Committee, where he’s a Monday volunteer. Kyle is on the Board of Directors for the Pigeon Forge Hospitality & Tourism Association and serves as Co-Chair of the communication committee.
