Biography

Dave, originally from Buffalo, New York, joined Channel 6, WPVI-TV in Philadelphia, in 1978 as co-host of the station's new live morning talk show, "AM/Philadelphia." He began his broadcasting career in 1954 at WAER-FM in Syracuse, New York, and later worked at WOLF-AM in Syracuse. His television debut came in 1956 at WBUF-TV in Buffalo. In 1958, he served in the U.S. Army as News Director for the Caribbean Forces Radio-TV Network in the Panama Canal Zone and also broadcasted on Armed Forces Radio in New York City. In 1961, he joined WKBW-TV in Buffalo. Dave holds a degree in Speech and Dramatic Arts from Syracuse University, with dual majors in English and Communications.

Mr. Roberts is a member of the Screen Actors Guild and appeared in Brian De Palma's 1981 film Blow Out alongside John Travolta. He has also made guest appearances on ABC's soap opera All My Children (1970), Dick Clark's Inside America (1982), and ABC's Thirtysomething (1987).

Dave is actively involved with various organizations, including the Variety Club and the Knights of Columbus, where he is a Fourth Degree Knight. His extensive charitable work includes support for Catholic Charity Drives, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Lupus Foundation, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and hosting the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon on Channel 6.

The Central Delco Lodge #2438 of the Order of Sons of Italy in America honored Dave with their "Man of the Year Achievement Award" for his outstanding community service. He received recognition from the Muscular Dystrophy Association for thirty-five years of service and was named Person of the Year by the Philadelphia Broadcast Pioneers Association for the new millennium.

In May 2002, Dave was awarded a Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Holy Family College in Philadelphia. Two years later, in May 2004, he received the Whitney M. Young Jr. Service Award from the Boy Scouts for his "unselfish service to the youth of America."
