Ari Hait joined the WTAE Channel 4 Action News staff in October 2006.

He had plenty of local experience to draw on, having been a reporter at WPGH from 1999 through April 2005.

Prior to that, he worked as a reporter at WSAZ in Charleston, W.Va., a Bureau Chief/Reporter at WTRF in Wheeling, W.Va., and a Reporter/Anchor/Producer at the Garden State Radio News.

Hait's local ties and contacts and his aggressive reporting style and work ethic make him a natural fit with Channel 4 Action News.

His reports can be seen on Channel 4 Action News This Morning, from 5-7 a.m. on weekdays.
