Steve Flamisch

Steve Flamisch joined WRGB in February 2008 as an investigative reporter, assigned to the CBS 6 Fact Finder Team. He has since expanded his duties to include anchoring CBS 6 News on Sunday mornings, from 7 - 9 a.m.

Flamisch came to the Capital Region from Syracuse, where he worked as a general assignment news reporter and fill-in sports anchor for CBS 5 WTVH. Previously, he anchored radio newscasts for Newsradio 570 WSYR and Rock 105 The Dog, and filed several reports that aired nationally on the ABC and Clear Channel Radio networks. He is also a past Public Affairs Director for Syracuse-based Galaxy Radio.

A New Jersey native, Flamisch began his news career as an anchor/reporter for that state's largest radio network, the 12-station Millennium Radio New Jersey. He was eventually promoted to an anchor seat at New Jersey 101.5, America's #1 FM talk station.

In addition to his CBS 6 duties, Flamisch serves as a freelance play-by-play announcer and sideline reporter for Time Warner Sports Network. His calls of college and high school basketball, football, hockey, and soccer games have been seen in the Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse markets, with select football games simulcast on the Big East Network, ESPN Game Plan, ESPN360.com, and MSG Network.

Now entering his ninth season as a football broadcaster, Flamisch has called games for TV and radio stations in New York and New Jersey, served as the East Coast Correspondent for a pair of radio stations in Hawaii, handled freelance media relations for ABC Sports, and is writing a book about the history of pro football television coverage. His profile of the late television sports patriarch Chris Schenkel has already been displayed at the Indiana Sports Hall of Fame.

Flamisch won the 2007 New York State Associated Press Broadcasters Association Award for General Excellence in Individual Reporting, the AP's highest individual honor for a television news reporter. A two-time winner of the national John Bayliss Radio Scholarship, Flamisch has also won several Syracuse Press Club awards for his work, including the A. Brohmann Roth Newcomer Award, Best Radio Human Interest Feature, Best Radio Spot News Coverage, and Best Television Human Interest Feature. 

Born February 16, 1984, Flamisch grew up in the Central New Jersey towns of Jackson and Toms River. He graduated Cum Laude in May 2006 from Syracuse University, where he majored in Broadcast Journalism and minored in French Language, Literature, and Culture.
