We're happy to introduce Brandon Downs to the CBS Sacramento digital team. He comes to us from Chico, where he was the digital content manager at KHSL. He loves spending time outdoors -- doing things like running, mountain biking, and camping. Originally from San Diego, Brandon is a huge Padres fan.

Producer Jensen Williams also joined us in October. Before coming to Sacramento, Jensen produced at KRCR in Redding. Jensen grew up in Bakersfield and attended Cal State Fullerton where she earned a bachelor of arts degree in journalism. She’s a big soccer fan, having played for 16 years.

We're happy to welcome a newer member of the CBS Sacramento producing team: Chantelle Edwards. Chantelle joined us in October from the Seattle area where had previously worked at KIRO and KCPQ.

We're thrilled to announce our new director, Kevin Flannigan. He spent the last 11 years across the street at KTXL-TV, most of them as a director, having worked his way up to Production Supervisor and Operations Manager. Prior to KTXL, he was a senior director/technical director at KHSL/KNVN in Chico. His experience with both traditional and automated directing and his passion for directing live newscasts make him a great addition to our strong directing team. Welcome, Kevin!
