Marleah Campbell
Sports director
Marleah is an Emmy-winning sports journalist who joined KCTV5 in the summer of 2022.
A Lenexa native who grew up watching Channel 5, Marleah played Division I basketball at the University of Wyoming. She joined KCTV5 from WIBW in Topeka, where she received numerous honors as sports director from the Kansas Association of Broadcasters.
A four-time Academic All-Mountain West team member in college, her passion for equity in sports led her to write an award-winning master’s thesis on Title IX in her final year of NCAA eligibility. She’d use that framework to create a year-long weekly feature series at WIBW highlighting the pioneers who came before her, titled “IX at 50: The Trailblazers of Women’s Sports in Kansas.”
Outside of KCTV5, you can listen to Marleah’s Chiefs coverage on 101 The FOX, 94.9 KCMO and 107.3 The Vibe.
In her free time, Marleah enjoys yoga, reading, and spending time with her family, friends and dog, Brookie.
