Cayle Thompson is a reporter for KAKE News and co-anchor of Good Morning Kansas Weekend. He joined KAKE in early 2006, after almost two years as an anchor and reporter in Amarillo, Texas.
Cayle has covered everything from breaking news to breaking weather. In Amarillo, he co-anchored six consecutive hours of severe weather coverage as storms rolled across the city one afternoon. In 2005, he rode out Hurricane Rita as a journalist embedded with the Salvation Army and the Texas National Guard. He reported live from the Houston Astrodome the night Rita came ashore, and was the only television reporter in the country allowed inside access as soldiers waited out the storm. In the aftermath, he traveled with troops through Galveston and filed additional reports from Beaumont, one of the hardest hit cities.
Before working in Texas, Cayle cut his teeth behind-the-scenes as a news producer for WNEM TV5 in Saginaw & Flint, Michigan. There, he was part of a team to produce extended coverage of the 2003 Northeast Blackout and the capture of Saddam Hussein.
Cayle holds a degree in Broadcast Journalism from Ithaca College's Roy H. Park School of Communications in upstate New York. At school, Cayle worked with ICTV-16, the campus television station. He started as an assistant producer, worked his way up to reporter, and eventually became News Director during his senior year. Some of Cayle's work in college was recognized by the Associated Press and showcased in Los Angeles and New York City.
Born and raised near San Antonio and a graduate of Texas Military Institute, Cayle is excited to call Kansas his new home.
