Since 1984, Ogle has been married to Ginger Renae Burns; they raised their family in Edmond, Oklahoma, where the two continue to reside. They have two daughters: Abigail Ann (born 1988) and Katelyn (born 1993). Abigail, the eldest of his daughters, has since become a journalist in the Oklahoma City market; she followed her father and uncles into television news in 2010 as a sports host at KSBI (channel 52), before moving to ABC affiliate KOCO-TV (channel 5) as a sports anchor/reporter in 2012 (Abigail moved to the news side as that station's weekday morning co-anchor in 2014, and eventually became 6:00 p.m. anchor/weeknight reporter in August 2017. Meanwhile, Katelyn has also followed in her father's footsteps and has joined KWTV (channel 9) as its weekday morning Live Desk/Alert Center anchor. It leaves KOKH-TV (channel 25) as the only station left in the market without an Ogle working there.).

Kevin began his career in Oklahoma City as a television sports photographer and editor. Prior to working at KFOR-TV, Ogle had worked at CBS affiliate KFSM-TV in Fort Smith, Arkansas (under the stage name Kevin Bowman), ABC affiliate KSWO-TV in Lawton, Oklahoma and KWCO radio in Chickasha, Oklahoma. In 1983, he received one of four Associated Press Awards for Best General News Reporting. He received honorable mention from the Arkansas Associated Press in 1987 for the investigative reporting series, Road to Recovery. He joined KFOR as the station's weekend anchor and general assignment reporter in 1993, before being promoted to weeknight anchor in 1996.

Kevin attended Kansas State University on a basketball scholarship; he left the Kansas State Wildcats men's basketball team for personal reasons in 1978, and transferred from KSU after his freshman year to join Oklahoma State University–Stillwater; there, he graduated with a journalism degree from the Paul Miller School of Journalism and Broadcasting in 1982.
