Reporter Bob McNaney is leaving KSTP after 17 years with the Hubbard Broadcasting-owned station.

McNaney, who is married to former KARE reporter Trisha Volpe, is stepping away from TV news for a job in PR.  He has been named vice president of crisis communications for Padilla Speer Beardsley.

“I have been honored to work for the Hubbard family and with countless talented people at KSTP,” McNaney said in bidding farewell to the station.  “Working with great friends, I have been blessed to receive many national awards for the work we have done here.”
