Later Lane... Hello Hearn!



Pi Phi!


Erin O'Hearn joined the Action News Team as a general assignment reporter in January of 2006. Before arriving in Philadelphia, she worked for 6abc's sister station, WTVD, the ABC owned station in Durham, North Carolina. There, she covered everything from breaking news to UNC pep rallies, to hurricanes ripping through the Tar Heel State.

Erin also has a strong background covering politics, as she began her broadcasting career at Capital News 9 in her hometown of Albany, New York. One of her most memorable experiences, while in New York, was an exclusive live interview with Governor George Pataki on the scene of a terrible Cargo-ship accident at the Port of Albany.


Before diving into news, Erin spent time producing episodes of an MTV documentary called "True Life". While working for MTV, Erin spent most of her time in New York City, but also traveled all over the country, following teens and young adults as they grappled with issues like bi-polar disorder and drug addiction.


Erin graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor in Science. She was a member of Pi Beta Phi Sorority and the Ivory Tower Honor Society. Erin loves to travel, read, workout and spend time with her family. The New York native is glad to be back in the Northeast and is thrilled to call Philadelphia home.
