Greetings!
My name is Timothy Weisberg and I have more than three years experience producing local newscasts. From 2014-2017, I was a news producer with ABC10 in Sacramento, producing the 6 p.m. and Late News Tonight (11 p.m.). I got my start at New York University during graduate school, helping produce school newscasts that were streamed live online.  

After graduating with an M.A. in journalism from NYU in the winter of 2013, I took a job as a producer at KUSA, the NBC station in Denver. It was part of TEGNA’s Talent Development program, which provided on-the-job training for producers who would then work for another TEGNA-owned station. I then moved to ABC10 in July of 2014, working primarily as an assignment editor, before helping launch the new 4:30 a.m. newscast in January 2015.

In August 2017, I transitioned out of TV news to embark on a new career as a Public Information Officer, first with Caltrans in downtown Los Angeles and since May 2018, with the California Office of Traffic Safety in the Sacramento area. It’s an exciting time to work on the other side, and find creative ways to disseminate information that is engaging for an audience that demands it!

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, skateboarding, and binge-watching Better Call Saul. I’m still passionate about news so if you have a great story idea, be sure to drop me a note!

Don’t Stop Believing: Dodgers in World Series for the ages

In my 27 years on Earth, and two years prior to entering this world, the Los Angeles Dodgers never made it to baseball’s Promised Land, until now. Cubs fans are scoffing at me: “29 years? That’s cute.” I know. It’s not 108 years, but it feels like a lifetime. And for...

Terror in Las Vegas: From the sound of music to gunfire

58. 58?! 49 seemed unconscionable. 27, including 20 children, unreal. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. Just when the thought of adding another "Pray for (insert city)" Facebook cover or profile photo left our consciousness, another man (it almost...

Davidson vs. Goliath: Wildcats punch super ticket during Cinderella run

The Davidson Wildcats baseball team has three scholarship players. In the program's 115-year existence, they never made it to the NCAA tournament. They grinded their way through the Atlantic 10 Tournament just to get to the NCAA Tournament, winning three games in two...

Oakland Raiders on the move…again

If you build it, they will come. Wish the same could be said for the city of Oakland. Their 'Field of Dreams' at the Oakland Coliseum has turned into a nightmare for Raider Nation. The Oakland Raiders are leaving the East Bay a second time. It's really happening. On...

How I almost fell victim to a Student Loan Scam

Yes, even millennials can fall victim to scams. It's not just the elderly scammers are after. This isn't the typical scam asking to repay a debt by wiring money, or putting money on a pre-paid card. In my case, it's a "legitimate" company that acts under false...
