David Wade Named WBZ-TV News Anchor

Wade to co-anchor WBZ-TV News' Morning and Noon Newscasts

BOSTON (WBZ) ― Award-winning journalist David Wade joins WBZ-TV News as anchor of the station's weekday newscasts at 5AM, 6AM, and Noon with co-anchor Paula Ebben; it was announced today by Jeff Kiernan, WBZ-TV and TV38 News Director. Wade will debut on WBZ-TV News on Monday, November 12. Current co-anchor Scott Wahle will be assigned to the "TV38 News at 9" co-anchoring with Sara Underwood, and he will also report for WBZ-TV News.

A Massachusetts native raised in Somerville, Wade most recently worked at Boston's WFXT-TV where he was a weekday anchor at 5PM and 10PM. He joined WFXT-TV in 1998 and spent four years as a general assignment reporter before being named anchor.

"David is a highly respected journalist in the Boston market," Kiernan said. "He has established credibility and popularity, and viewers know the quality of his work. We know that David will be an asset to 'BZ's morning and noon newscasts and a valuable addition to our entire award-winning news team."

"Growing up here, I've always been aware of the legacy of WBZ-TV and the station's reputation for being the best in the business," said Wade. "So when this outstanding opportunity came my way, it was an easy decision, and I look forward to contributing to the station's growth."

Before joining WFXT in 1998, Wade was a reporter at WXXA-TV (Fox) in Albany, NY. Before that, he began his broadcast career in 1995 as a reporter at WRNN-TV in Rye Brook, NY.

Over the course of his distinguished broadcast career, Wade has been nominated for 20 Boston/New England Emmy Awards and has won 15 including Best Anchor, Best Reporter, and three awards for Best News Writing. He also won an Associated Press award in 2002.

David is a 1995 graduate of Emerson College with a BA degree in broadcast journalism. He graduated from Tewksbury High School in 1991. David is married to broadcast journalist Bianca de la Garza, and the couple has a two year old daughter.

Boston's WBZ-TV and TV38 are part of CBS Television Stations, a division of CBS Corporation.
