McEwen performed a number of on-air roles for The Early Show on CBS from 1999 to 2002. He also contributed to the network's coverage of the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France, the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, and co-hosted daytime coverage of the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan with Jane Robelot, as well as 48 Hours.

McEwen left CBS in October 2002 and in 2005 joined WKMG-TV, the CBS affiliate in Orlando, where he became the morning news co-anchor and noon news anchor. However, McEwen suffered a stroke that ended his stint as a news anchor for the station. McEwen still works for WK today as part of their Good Neighbor 6 community outreach program, where he does stroke awareness commercials for the station, among other things. In 2008, he published a book about his health challenges entitled Change in the Weather: Life after Stroke.
McEwen currently resides in Winter Springs with his wife and children. His brother, Kirk McEwen, was a DJ with WVRX, where he hosted the morning show with Mike O'Meara. The show has since been canceled.
