DAVE PRICE
Weather Anchor
NBC 4 New York
Dave Price serves as weather anchor
for NBC 4 New York’s 11 a.m. and 4
p.m. newscasts.
Prior to joining NBC 4 New York, Price
co-anchored Good Day New York at WNYW
FOX5 where he and his colleagues helped steer
the newscast through coverage which included
the Sandy Hook tragedy, Empire State Building
shootings, and Sandy and its aftermath.
Before FOX5, Price was the weather anchor
for CBS’s The Early Show for eight years and
covered major weather events for the CBS
Evening News. In addition to forecasting and
reporting on-site from natural disasters for both
programs, he traveled throughout the country
and around the globe bringing amazing feature
stories to millions of viewers.
Price began his TV career in Erie, PA, as the
morning weatherman at WSEE-TV. A year later
he was named morning weather anchor at
WBBM-TV, the CBS station in Chicago. He’s won
four Emmy awards and a Gracie award for his
work on-air.
Price has had a first-person view
of some of the most momentous
events of our time. Price was in New
York City, on-air, as the tragic events
of September 11 unfolded and was one of the
few reporters who spent the night enduring
Hurricane Katrina inside the Superdome in New
Orleans with the people he was covering.
One of his most cherished volunteer efforts is
his longstanding involvement entertaining U.S.
troops serving overseas. For over a decade,
Price has traveled to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait,
Djibouti and military installations around the
globe to do stand-up comedy for the troops
during the holiday season.
Price, a native New Yorker, is a certified scuba
diver, licensed pilot and avid photographer. Price
and his wife, Jacqueline, live in New York City
with their son, Eli, daughter, Caroline, and their
adopted golden retriever, Wally.
