Brent
Weber brings to Oklahoma nearly three decades of experience
in the television and entertainment industry. A former CNN
Sports anchor and reporter, Brent spent the past dozen years
working in the Los Angeles market, including stints as CNN's
West Coast Sports Correspondent and most recently handling
live game coverage for Fox Sports Net West. Brent was sports
director at the Orange County Newschannel and later produced
and hosted the television series Action Figures, an entertainment/active
lifestyle talk show.
After earning his Bachelor's in Broadcast Journalism at Georgia
State University in Atlanta, Brent experienced the once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to serve as an intern at the then-brand-new Cable
News Network, returning a decade later to the CNN newsroom
as an on-air talent. In-between he had stints in radio in Atlanta,
and on television in Macon, Georgia and Chattanooga, Tennessee.
In the latter he served as radio play-by-play voice of the
Cincinnati Reds' Class AA affiliate. In fact, Brent's first
passion in sports is indeed baseball play-by-play, and he later
was the television voice of the Cal State Fullerton Titans.
Brent frequently speaks to students
of all ages on a variety of topics and his book about the
television news industry "The
Sports Guy: Scorecard Scribblings From An Ordinary Journalist" is
used in several college classrooms. Brent has volunteered with
the MS Society, Special Olympics and the Community Kitchen.
He was honored to receive a National Cable Ace Award for his
work at CNN, and has several Associated Press honors to his
credit. Brent insists his daughter is the true talent in the
family, a talented actress who is currently completing her
college studies.
