Scott Satchfield
Scott Satchfield joined the Eyewitness News team as a general assignment reporter in June 2007. A native of the New Orleans metro area, Scott said his move to WWL was truly a homecoming.
"Growing up in Covington, Channel 4 was a fixture in my home," he said. "Now, I've come full circle -- joining the news team that inspired me to pursue a career in journalism."
Scott came to WWL-TV from WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge, where he spent two years as a reporter and fill-in anchor. Shortly after his arrival at WBRZ, Hurricane Katrina struck.
He covered many stories in New Orleans during and after the storm. Scott's three-part series on the staff and patients stranded at Charity Hospital in New Orleans earned him a 2007 Regional Edward R. Murrow Award. His stories also gained recognition from the Associated Press.
Scott began his career as a "one-man band" reporter at WMDN-TV, the CBS affiliate in Meridian, MS. He also interned for WCBD-TV in Charleston, SC.
A graduate of the University of Mississippi, Scott earned a Bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism. As Sports Director at WUMS-FM, he spent two years covering the Ole Miss Rebels.
In his spare time, Scott plays basketball and tennis. You can also catch him exploring the diverse New Orleans music scene, or following Ole Miss sports and Saints football.
