On November 7, 2006, McGee worked at WHCP for a 6 and 10 p.m. newscast. However, this would be brief as o February 21, 2006, Charleston police were called to the new WHCP studios in Charleston to escort McGee from the building. A dispute had broken out between him and station manager Chuck Jones. McGee left the building on his own (while yelling "I'm done. I'm outta here!") and stated that he was speaking up for station employees. The conflict was the station itself not living up to its promises. Two days later the newscast was cancelled.
Today Tom McGee works as a reporter for the Charleston Daily Mail writing a weekly article every Sunday in the newspaper. Currently, he is studying law at West Virginia University 1.
