Beginning Monday, KOLR will showcase a new anchor on its evening TV newscasts. Steve Savard has a long history in the Missouri news business, joining KMOV in St. Louis, the nation's 23rd-largest television market, back in the 1990s. Monday, he'll anchor KOLR's 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. newscasts; then beginning Tuesday, he'll add the 10 p.m. broadcast to his daily schedule, Savard said. For many years Savard was a sports reporter covering the St. Louis Rams and other teams before becoming a news anchor in the early 2010s. Last fall, he left KMOV when the station's parent company made staffing cuts due to disruptions in advertising revenue caused by the pandemic. More recently, he's worked on a daily two-hour talk radio show, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
