Jude Ratcliff joined the CBS19 team as a digital content producer in May 2024.
He previously worked as a freelance journalist for the Tyler Morning Telegraph and the Tyler Loop, as well as several positions at other local TV stations.
Originally from Denison, Jude moved to Lindale and began his career in journalism as a staff writer for the Lindale Eagle Eye at Lindale High School before moving to Tyler for college, where he was a multimedia journalist at the TJC DrumBeat and UT Tyler Patriot Talon.
When he isn't working, Jude enjoys spending time indoors with a book, playing chess, or spending time with his spouse, Harmon, and their two dogs, Arlo and Goose.
Although Jude isn't native to East Texas, he's found an appreciation for the region and is proud to call the region his home. To send him news tips, or to drop in and say hi, reach out to him at BRatcliff@cbs19.tv.
