Cassidy Mudd joined News 9 in June 2026 as a digital producer, bringing a track record in public media and local broadcast that aims to deepen coverage of issues affecting Oklahomans. Her move signals a boost to the station’s online reporting at a time when digital news delivery is increasingly central to how communities get information.
At News 9, Mudd focuses on turning complex topics into clear, engaging digital stories for readers and viewers across the state. She works on multimedia projects that pair concise reporting with audio and video elements designed for mobile audiences.
Before arriving at News 9, Mudd spent several years at OETA, Oklahoma’s PBS station, where she produced and hosted panels and programs that examined statewide concerns. Her role there combined on-air moderation with behind-the-scenes production aimed at making civic issues accessible.
