Fletcher Mackel
WDSU Sports Anchor/Reporter
Sports has always been a big part of native New Orleanian Fletcher Mackel’s life. The son of a professional golfer, Fletcher played baseball in high school at De La Salle and was the team captain of the Loyola University baseball team during his senior year.
Since arriving at WDSU-TV as a sports anchor and reporter in the fall of 2002, Fletcher has covered some the biggest events in Louisiana sports history. The Saints Super Bowl Championship ranks No. 1, but Fletcher was also on the field for LSU’s two BCS National Championships in football and for the Tigers’ College World Series Championship. Fletcher has covered three NCAA Final Four Championships (two in New Orleans and one featuring the LSU Tigers in Indianapolis).
Fletcher says he is most proud of the Saints on 6 shows produced by WDSU. Featuring former Saints Head Coach Jim Mora as a co-host the shows have won various local, regional and national awards.
