Phillip Hickman came to WTAP in the winter of 2001. He worked in production for a year and a half, running camera, audio, and occasionally graphics for Daybreak.
Phillip eventually made his way to the news staff on July 29th of 2002 as the producer of Daybreak. In his time on the morning show he has worked with Ray Petelin and Megan Glaros, who have both moved on to other markets thanks to Phillip's wonderfully produced shows! Finally in the fall of 2004, after 2 and a half years in the dark Phillip made the switch to day shift taking over duties as Producer of WTAP @ 5 and Assignment Editor.
Phillip was born and raised in the wonderful town of Ravenswood, where he attended Ravenswood High School. It was at RHS where Phillip first got the itch to work in TV while taking the first Media and Technology class at the school. After high school, Phillip earned a BS in
Communication at West Virginia State College (Now University).
When not thinking of ways to help WTAP become a better station Phillip loves to spend time with his wife Carrie and daughter Alexis. In his spare time Phillip loves to attend WVU football and basketball games. He's also a huge fan of the Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders, Chicago Bulls, and unfortunately for him the Lovable Losers the Chicago Cubs.
But the Boston Red Sox have shown that there is hope, even if there is a Steve Bartman. Outside of sports Phillip likes to go fishing and spend time playing with his dog Rout. (click for picture of Rout)
