KAEC President and CEO Chris Perry says, "Our industry is facing many challenges due to the Clean Power Plan and other regulations.

This is a critical role in the success of our organization and during a period of transition in the utility world. We are looking forward to having Joe on board."

Recognized locally and nationally for his reporting of politics and government, Arnold first joined WHAS-11 in 1998 while host of The Joe Arnold Show on WHAS-AM 840. Beginning in 2001, Joe anchored Good Morning Kentuckiana and weekend newscasts before assuming the role of political editor in 2009.

Arnold's reporting has been recognized with top awards from the Associated Press and Emmy Awards for investigations and blogging.
A 2012 graduate of Leadership Louisville, a civic training group for emerging leaders, Arnold has also been recognized for his contributions to charitable causes, including the Colon Cancer Prevention Project and the Alzheimer's Association.
