Mike Hegedus

Veteran journalist and broadcaster Mike Hegedus has spent a lifetime telling stories that matter. He began his career in 1971 as Sports Director at KRDO in Colorado Springs, covering everything from Air Force football to Arnold Palmer on the course. He went on to Buffalo's WGR-TV, where he transitioned into news, earning two national Martin R. Gainsborough Awards and a fellowship at Wharton. In 1980, Mike moved to San Francisco's KPIX during the golden age of local television—creating his own show, winning 10 Emmy Awards, and reporting on everything from global revolutions to powerful stories at home. Mike also hosted NBC's Prime Suspect, one of the country's top programs, and contributed to CNBC before producing his final show for PBS, and retiring in 2013. Today, he's enjoying life beyond the newsroom—swimming, biking, and traveling wherever curiosity takes him.
