David Wade ’95 Fills in on National CBS Broadcast

Emerson’s own David Wade ’95, a news anchor at WBZ-TV in Boston and an affiliated faculty member in the College’s Journalism Department, got called up to the Big League on Saturday, August 24, when he filled in for CBS Weekend News anchor Adriana Diaz.

“It was a career first and an absolute joy to work with such talented journalists,” Wade wrote on his LinkedIn page. “I’m a lucky guy!”

Luck may have had little to do with it. An anchor and reporter at WBZ-TV since 2007, Wade has won 29 regional Emmy Awards for his journalism. Most recently, in June, he picked up an Emmy for news writing

Prior to joining WBZ, Wade worked for WFXT Fox 25 (now Boston 25), and WXXA-TV in Albany, New York. His first job out of Emerson was as a reporter at WRNN-TV in New Rochelle, NY.
