Beau Berman Joins WTAE in Pittsburgh

Beau Berman has joined Hearst Television's WTAE-TV ABC 4 in Pittsburgh, PA as a reporter.

"I'm both thankful and very excited to be able to share that tomorrow I begin a new chapter in my career as a reporter for WTAE-TV, Pittsburgh's Action News 4" Beau said on Sunday. "I'll miss my friends and colleagues in Connecticut very much, but I'm lucky to now be closer to my family, where I am needed."

During most of his time at FOX CT, Beau has also been an adjunct Professor of Broadcast Journalism at Quinnipiac University in Hamden. He has also spent some of his free time volunteering with the Connecticut Nutmeg Big Brothers Big Sisters program as a mentor.

Beau joined FOX CT from KOSA-TV CBS 7 in Midland, TX where he was a general assignment and investigative reporter. He has also been a production assistand and writer at WHVL-TV in State College, PA, and has interned at both WTAE-TV and KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh.

An award winning journalist, Beau was recognized three times with an Edward R. Murrow Award for his investigative reports. He has also been nominated for three New England Chapter Emmy's during his time in Connecticut. He’s also been recognized with multiple awards from the Connecticut Society of Professional Journalists and the Texas Associated Press Broadcasters.
