Dave Price

CBS THE EARLY SHOW - METEOROLOGIST

 
   

Dave Price, 36, was named the weatherman and a featured reporter for CBS News The Early Show in July 2003. 

Previously, Price had served as the weather anchor/co-host for WNYW-TV/Fox 5 New York's highly rated morning program since July 1999. For the last eight months of that period, he also was a features reporter for the syndicated program "Good Day Live." 

At WNYW, Price played a major role in the station's coverage of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the crash of American Airlines flight 587 and the Iraq war. In New York, Price was the recipient of two Emmy Awards, for Best Feature Series and Best Host. On a lighter note, he was one of People magazine's 50 most eligible bachelors in 2001. 

Before that, Price was the host of "Good Day Philadelphia," the morning program of Fox's WTXF-TV (September 1998-July 1999). He also provided feature stories and on-site coverage of major news events, which included reporting from the Persian Gulf. Price's broadcast received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Newscast. 

Price first worked for CBS at WBBM-TV, the CBS-owned station in Chicago (1996-98), where he served as the morning weather anchor and contributed feature and entertainment reports, as well as a weekly piece on the quirky side of life in Chicago. He received two Emmy Awards for his work there. 

Price's broadcasting career was launched at WSEE-TV Erie, Pa., where he took a job as the station's morning and noon weathercaster (1995-96) after having spent eight years as a corporate human resources executive. A successful life-changing effort to lose 80 pounds and a chance meeting with a small-market television personality led to that career switch. 

Price, one of four brothers, was born on Oct. 18, 1966, in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. He was graduated from Cornell University in 1987 with a bachelor's of science degree in industrial and labor relations and from Columbia University in 1993 with a master's degree in organizational psychology. 

Price is also a bachelor living in New York City.
