Brian Cooley is an Editor at large for CNET and their senior pundit, seen frequently on CNN, ABC News, CNBC as well on the TV screens in most major tech retailers around the U.S. He also hosts CNET's Car Tech podcast,[2] a common co-host of Buzz Out Loud, and a co-host of a number of other CNET TV programs.
Cooley began his career in radio reporting news and commentary for such stations as KFRC, KMEL and KPIX AM/FM in San Francisco and KKBT "The Beat" in Los Angeles. His deep baritone voice helped him land a job at the launch of CNET Radio in 1995. Cooley often adds his humor and tech insights to the Buzz Report on CNET TV and also hosts his own CNET TV show, Car Tech Video. He has a postcast called Car Tech Live, which he hosts with fellow Car Tech Editors Antuan Goodwin and Wayne Cunningham.
On August 1, 2009, Cooley began doing Car Tech segments on Car News with Dan Rosenberg on KFWB News Talk 980 in Los Angeles.
He was a early adopter of the Zune, of which he has in brown, although more recently he is frequently seen connecting "[his] iPod Touch" to a vehicle to test its audio system on Car Tech, signifying he might have switched to the competing platform. He also is a huge fan of 007 movies and is Chief of Staff of "The Commanders Club" a James Bond movie fan club.[3]
Cooley is married, lives in the Bay Area and is always on the prowl for garages in which to store his collection of highly original Ford automobiles which he considers to be "examples of Detroit's last great era, the late 1960s."
As of May 2010, Cooley became the host of the CNET Top5 show replacing Tom Merritt.[citation needed][4]
