(Weatherman and Feature Reporter, THE EARLY SHOW) ?
Dave Price has been the weatherman and a feature reporter for THE EARLY SHOW since July 2003. He is also the weather anchor for CBS 2 NEWS THIS MORNING on WCBS-TV, the CBS Owned station in New York. In addition to in-studio forecasts, Price can be seen entertaining crowds live on the plaza outside the CBS studios. He is also frequently seen broadcasting from cities across the country. Price received an American Women in Radio and Television Gracie Allen Award for a report in the "My New Life" series, "My New Life: Joan Lovett." The series focuses on people who have transformed their lives in some way.

Price has also co-hosted the "Rose Bowl Parade" in Pasadena, Calif., and the CBS "Thanksgiving Day Parade" both on CBS.

Previously, Price served as the weather anchor and co-host for WNYW-TV/Fox 5 New York (1999-2003). For the last eight months of that period, he was a feature reporter for the syndicated program "Good Day Live."

At WNYW-TV, Price played a major role in the station's coverage of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the crash of American Airlines flight 587 and the war in Iraq. In New York, Price was the recipient of two Emmy Awards, for Best Feature Series and Best Host. On a lighter note, he was one of People magazine's "50 Most Eligible Bachelors" in 2001. ?

Price was the host of "Good Day Philadelphia," the morning program of Fox's WTXF-TV (1998-99). In addition to anchoring, he provided feature stories and on-site coverage of major news events, which included reporting from the Persian Gulf. Price's broadcast received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Newscast. ?

Price also worked at WBBM-TV, the CBS Owned station in Chicago (1996-98), where he served as the morning weather anchor. He also contributed entertainment reports and developed a feature series, "The Price Check," highlighting the quirky side of life in Chicago. He received two Emmy Awards for his work there. ?

Price's broadcasting career was launched at WSEE-TV Erie, Pa., a CBS affiliate. He served as the station's morning and noon weathercaster for one year, after having spent eight years as a corporate human-resources executive. A successful life-changing effort to lose 80 pounds and a chance meeting with a small-market television personality led to that career switch. ?
Price is involved in numerous local and national charity organizations, including New York Cares, the ASPCA and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. He was graduated from Cornell University in 1987 with a bachelor of science degree in industrial and labor relations, and from Columbia University in 1993 with a master's degree in organizational psychology. Born in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., Price lives in New York. ?
