Dave Reynolds

Sports reporter/anchor Dave Reynolds grew up just outside Chicago in Park Forest, Ill., and graduated from Iowa State University. He played high school football, basketball, tennis and golf before settling on college tennis. He played No. 1 singles for the Cyclones as a senior and finished second in the Big Eight in doubles that season.

Dave began his broadcasting career as a sports reporter with WLBT-TV in Jackson, Miss. He moved to WXVT-TV in Greenville, Miss., as the No. 1 sports anchor and from there, he spent two years at WEHT-TV in Evansville, Ind. Before accepting the position at News Channel 8 in April 2003, Dave had moved to WLKY i Louisville, Kentucky. While there, he hosted a 30-minutes Sports Sunday show, and also covered 10 NCAA basketball tournaments, the Kentucky Derby eight times, the Indianapolis 500, Brickyard 400, Breeders Cup, Major League Baseball playoffs and two PGA championships.

Although he just missed the Bucs' Super Bowl win, he was able to cover the Storm's Arena Bowl Championship and the Lightning's Stanley Cup victory. Dave says, "The Stanley Cup playoffs were simply incredible. The night-to-night intensity is unlike anything I've ever experienced in 20 years covering sports."

"Bucs Bonus" pre-game coverage relies on Dave's expertise each week. His on-the-field reports and analysis are a big part of the show, and he is also a regular contributor to the "Coaches Corner" segment with Jon Gruden. "Not only is it a big thrill to cover the NFL on a weekly basis, but when you can regularly enjoy the unparalleled access we have on that show, it makes the job that much sweeter."

Dave has won several Associated Press awards for his sports reporting, sports shows and specials. He was a two-time finalist for Louisville Magazine's "Best of Louisville" Awards.

When he's not on the air or at a sporting event, Dave enjoys reading, music, golf, tennis and basketball. He considers himself an HGTV and home-improvement show addict. Dave and his wife, Holly, welcomed son Preston in March 2005.
