Cam Gaskins joined the WBTV Sports Team as a Reporter/MMJ in August of 2022.
He spent the last three years as a Sports Anchor/Reporter at WOLO in Columbia, S.C., covering everything from the Gamecock women's basketball national championship to the 2022 Masters and anything else sports in the Palmetto State.
Cam graduated from the University of Georgia in 2017 with a Digital/Broadcast Journalism degree, a certificate in Sports Media, and a minor in Film Studies.
