Dave Roberts, KMTV
Previous Experience:KGAN, KAAL, KWWL
To find out how Dave Roberts got his inspiration to pursue a career in television news, you have to go back to the mid-80s in Philadelphia. That's where weatherman Dave Roberts was delivering forecasts on WPVI "Action News" Channel 6.
The younger Roberts, who watched the older Roberts on WPVI when he was growing up in nearby South Jersey, decided to give TV news a try by anchoring his high school’s morning news broadcast. From there, he went on to Coe College and a job at KGAN, the Eastern Iowa CBS affiliate for Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waterloo and Dubuque. In three years there, he worked his way up to associate director.
In 2001, he took a job at KAAL-ABC in Austin, Minn., where he was the weekend anchor. Two years later, he moved back to Eastern Iowa to Waterloo's KWWL-ABC, working his way up from mornings to evenings and winning first place in "spot news coverage" from the Iowa Broadcast News Association for his story, "Arsonist Starts Fire Live on Morning Show."
"I tend to enjoy undercover investigative work and catching people who prey on the vulnerable," Roberts said.
He encourages viewers to share news tips, emails and comments on his work at Action 3 News. You can him at dgroberts@Action3News.com or call the Action3News tip line: 402-592-3333 ext. 700.
