This is Robert Kovacik's BIO which was written himself and is used by NBC Los Angeles. He would like to use the same BIO for his Wiki Article.
Robert Kovacik is the lead morning reporter for “Today in LA.” He is also featured on Channel 4 newscasts throughout the day.
Kovacik's live shots wake up southern California every morning, and often there are unforgettable moments. An early morning exchange on “Today in LA” between the Los Angeles Chief of Police and a Councilman made headlines around the world, earning Robert a 2008 Golden Mike award. While explaining to viewers about the extensive manhunt to find an alleged murderer, the suspect suddenly appeared and surrendered to Kovacik while live on the air. Robert's coverage of the event was recognized in 2007 with Edward R. Murrow, Golden Mike and L.A. Press Club awards for breaking and spot news reporting.
Before joining NBC, Kovacik was the West Coast correspondent and an anchor with National Geographic Channel, the fastest growing cable network in history. Aired around the world, the nightly news program "National Geographic Today" showcased Robert's talent as an experiential reporter.
For five years, Robert Kovacik was an anchor and reporter for KCOP-TV in Los Angeles, where he was valued for his versatility. In one year alone, he received Emmy award nominations for serious news reporting, hosting an entertainment program and live sports coverage.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, Kovacik is an honors graduate of Brown University. After receiving a prestigious fellowship with the International Radio and Television Society, Robert attended Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, where he also graduated with honors.
Following Columbia, Robert Kovacik became the youngest television anchor in the nation's largest market when he was named the anchor of KCET's overnight venture, “Nightworld.” At the PBS flagship station, Robert anchored hourly updates and hosted the network's first-ever live coverage of New York's famous Halloween Parade.
After almost four years in New York City, Robert relocated to the West Coast where he began building his reputation as one of Southern California's toughest and most compassionate reporters. His work as an investigative reporter has earned him a place in the Kenneth Starr Report.
Behind the desk at KCOP-TV, he guided viewers through breaking news events, including a Southwest Airlines plane crash, a 7.0 earthquake, the death of Princess Diana and the disappearance of John Kennedy Jr. Kovacik has won numerous awards for his in-depth reporting: Associated Press, Emmy, Golden Mike, Murrow, Best of the West, LA Press Club. Kovacik is also in a select group of two-time winners of the International Genesis Award, including one presented for his groundbreaking investigation into Los Angeles animal shelters that would force the city to change its laws.[1]
