Michael Spencer is about to join an exclusive club as a Denver news anchor. MichaelCBS4 CBSNewsColorado CBS4Tim
Wieland, in conjunction with current CBS4 Denver news director Kristine Strain, saw in Spencer the ability to bring the relatability he built when covering sports to the news desk."I wouldn't say that was part of the reason we chose Michael, but I would acknowledge that, depending on the person, sports anchors have an opportunity to demonstrate a little more personality than news anchors do, and for that reason, they may make a deeper connection with the audience," he says.
In 2010, upon earning his degree from Mizzou,"I got my first TV job doing sports at KMID in Midland, Texas," he continues."I was there for basically a year and a half and then moved up within the company to KAMR in Amarillo, Texas. I was their main sports anchor for two and a half years, and then, in 2014, I moved to WATE in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was there for eighteen months, and then I moved to Denver in June of 2016.
As news anchor, Spencer will be delivering stories that may have life-and-death consequences,"and I'm looking forward to expanding my role in that regard," he says."Nobody likes covering tragedies, but I think watching Jim and Karen do it has given me a really good sense of how to handle those things. I'll be prepared for those moments when they come.
