Concetta Callahan is an American photojournalist and weekend news anchor working with CBS4. She joined CBS4 in January 2019 as the weekday evening anchor for the 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts. Prior to El Paso, she went back home to Houston, where she was a national correspondent with The Weather Channel, covering the costliest tropical cyclone on record. She brought viewers a firsthand look at the devastation Hurricane Harvey brought to coastal towns along the Texas Gulf Coast in 2017 as it traveled throughout Houston, Port Aransas, and Rockport. The storm damage was incomprehensible, costing $125 billion and flooding 600,000 vehicles. As communities limped toward recovery, another record was broken in Houston, when the Houston Astros won the World Series. For Astros fans, the World Series win really came at a time when it meant the world to them. A career highlight for her was covering the biggest win in Astros franchise history in her hometown. She made her way to El Paso by way of San Antonio; Tucson, Arizona; Rock Island, Illinois; and Laredo, Texas.
Her television career started on the Texas-Mexico border in Laredo, Texas, where she worked for KGNS-TV as an anchor and reporter. It was there, that she got a chance to cross the border and give viewers a firsthand look at the escalating violence in Mexico. She reported on some of the most dangerous drug cartels in the Gulf of Mexico, Los Zetas and the Sinaloa Cartel, in Mexico’s ongoing drug war. She also interviewed then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her campaign for president in 2008. She also covered the impact of Hurricane Ike, as evacuees were brought to Laredo by busloads.
She then shifted north to the Midwest. She was a weekend anchor and photojournalist at WHBF-TV in Rock Island, Illinois. There, she got her dose of politics. She covered the Iowa caucuses, President Barack Obama’s visit to Iowa City, and Iowa during Obama’s re-election campaign. She sat down with Gov. Mitt Romney, one-on-one, in Moline, Illinois, during his campaign for president in 2010.
After working there, she headed to the Southwest. She became the morning anchor for Tucson News Now. This was the first time the nation saw busloads of undocumented children who had entered the country illegally filling Border Patrol Processing Centers in Nogales, Arizona. She made a report on the uproar over how these children were being held on U.S. soil.
She then proceeded to San Antonio. She went back to KSAT-TV, the station where she interned in college. She was an anchor and reporter.
