Ken Buffa is joining WVIT NBC 30 (NBC Connecticut) as a reporter, New England One has learned.
Ken is joining NBC Connecticut from KARK NBC 4/KLRT FOX 16 in Little Rock, Arkansas where he is currently a general assignment reporter.
Ken told Arkansas Online that he is moving to Connecticut to be closer to his parents and fiancee.
"I had to kiss my loved ones goodbye and tell them I’d come back to New York a better reporter and a better man," he said to Arkansas Online. "There’s a lot Little Rock has given me. People in New York said it’d be a culture shock, but it’s been a character shock. It’s molded me into a better man."
Prior to joining KARK in August 2014, Ken spent time at News 12 Networks in New York City as a multimedia journalist and a photographer.
Outside of news, Ken was the head media specialist and involved in social media and video production at GraduationSource.com.
