Jim Kincaid is a former ABC News correspondent who left in 1978 to serve as an anchor for WVEC in Norfolk, Virginia. He would serve as their main anchor until 1994, after which he would continue to provide commentary until he retired in 1997, moving to a farm he owned in Elam, Virginia.

Kincaid reported in Vietnam for ABC in 1969, at the height of the Vietnam War. A military helicopter in which Jim was riding was shot down by rocket fire near the village of Bu Dop. Jim sustained a broken back in the crash and spent several months recovering in Hong Kong.

At WVEC, he returned to Vietnam in 1994 to do a special series of stories covering the changes that had taken place over the previous 25 years. While shooting the award-winning documentary, Kincaid reunited a Vietnamese refugee with her family in Ho Chi Minh City. The woman, Norfolk resident Thao Nguyen, left Vietnam by boat in the 1970's with her infant daughter, and had not seen her family in over 20 years.

Kincaid also wrote a documentary in 1995 entitled "D-Day to VE Day." Three D-Day veterans from the Norfolk area accompanied Jim to several historic World War II sites, including Weymouth, England, Omaha Beach, Bastogne, the Dachau concentration camp, and Margraten in the Netherlands, site of the largest American cemetery in Europe.
