MEET THE TEAM: Fletcher Mackel


Listen Later

Imagine having a stunt double at work. Fletcher Mackel basically does in his role as a sports anchor at WDSU-TV.

That's because the guy often sitting next to him on the anchoring desk doing the news is his identical twin brother Travers.

The Brothers Mackel have share a lot of experiences together. They grew up playing baseball in New Orleans. Both attended college and played baseball at Loyola University. And they both signed on at WDSU more than 20 years ago where Fletcher jokes "we're now a package deal and you're stuck with both of us." 

Soon, the guys will have something else in common as both will have worked on the Hearst Olympic Team. Fletcher is looking forward to adding Olympic experience to a resume that already includes Super Bowls and college championships. 

Fletcher's family has been in New Orleans for generations and civic pride fuels both his work ethic and passion. His energy is off the charts and if you like an inspirational quote, grab a pen because he drops them like crazy!

  • And the sports guy makes a prediction on who's going to own Beach Volleyball in Paris
