Cassidy Wood is a sports reporter and anchor for KDKA-TV. She joined the award-winning sports team in July of 2024. 

Cassidy comes from Charleston, West Virginia, where she worked as the sports director at WOWK 13 News for three years. During that time, she was named 'Best Sports Anchor in West Virginia' by the WV Broadcast Association all three years. She was also named 'Best Sports Anchor in West Virginia' by the National Sports Media Association.

Prior to Charleston, she worked as a reporter in Beaumont, Texas. Growing up, Cassidy always knew she wanted to work in sports. Her family is originally from Pittsburgh, and Fairmont, West Virginia. She feels very blessed to be back in the area, covering the teams she grew up loving. In her free time, Cassidy loves to watch sports (duh!) and go to the gym or do anything outdoors.
