Robb joined the
CBS21 news team in February 2010 with nearly 25 years of
television news experience. He co-anchors the early and
late evening newscasts with Tanya Foster.
Robb is happy to back in Central Pennsylvania. He worked as an anchor and
reporter for WHTM-TV from 1989 to 1992. Since then he has anchored at large
market stations such as WFOR-TV in Miami, WABC-TV in New York, and WSVN-TV
in Miami. But, throughout those travels and experiences, he says Central
Pennsylvania was the best place to live and work on the news.
Robb is the
recipient of a National Edward R. Murrow Award for Spot
News coverage in 2006 as well as an Emmy Award for
Outstanding Newscast in 1997. He has also received
numerous Associated Press awards for excellence in news
coverage. There is even a day named after him right here
in Harrisburg.
Robb
earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Broadcast Journalism
from the University of Arkansas. He and his wife, Stacey,
who hails from Pittsburgh, live in Susquehanna Township
and are very happy to be “home”.
Robb loves playing the guitar, singing karaoke, writing
songs, and boating. He combined his love of the water and
his love of writing when he became the Senior Editor of
Southern Boating Magazine. He holds a USCG 50/100 ton
Master/Mate (captain’s) license.
Robb's dedication to excellence brought him to the anchor position
for Eyewitness News This Morning and Eyewitness News at
Noon in 1996, which became the most-watched morning news
in the Big Apple. He left the noon newscast in 1998 to
anchor Eyewitness News at 5 PM. Robb helped the station
develop and present "Crime Stoppers," a weekly report that
helped police solve violent crimes in New York that
appeared to be, at first, unsolvable. In January 1997, he
traveled to London and brought back a special report on
the use of hidden cameras to fight crime, which is now
being done throughout New York. He was there when the
World Trade Center was attacked, providing
around-the-clock coverage in the following days and weeks.
His first full-time job was as a reporter at KODE-TV in Missouri.
He quickly moved up to City Hall reporter, weekend anchor,
and finally main weeknight anchor‑a job he truly loves.
During his nearly six-year run at KODE-TV, he was one of
the first smaller market reporters to cover a national
political convention through a then-new technology called
"satellite."
