From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dave Marash is an American television journalist. He is now the Washington-based anchor of Al-Jazeera's English language 24 hour news channel. He is a Jewish American. [1]

Marash came to ABC News from WCBS-TV in New York. His last appearance was on ABC News' Nightline with Ted Koppel.

Before Nightline, Marash was host of ESPN's Baseball Tonight and NBC's GrandStand, which was either a National Football League pregame show or a sports anthology show, depending on the season. In the early years of the Fox television network, Marash hosted a magazine-style show of science and technology entitled Beyond Tomorrow.

He gained a measure of notoriety when he was the first newscaster in the New York area to appear on-air without the then-standard uniform of jacket and shirt, appearing only in his shirtsleeves.
