David M. "Dave" Price (born October 18, 1966) is an American journalist and weather forecaster who is currently working for WNBC-TV in New York as a weekday afternoon weatherman.

Price is perhaps best known for his time on CBS television's The Early Show, where he was the daily forecaster and a co-host for a brief period. He was most recently the co-host for Good Day New York, the morning news program produced by WNYW. He was brought in to replace Greg Kelly as Rosanna Scotto's counterpart, as Kelly was promoted to replace Ernie Anastos as the station's lead anchor for its evening newscasts. He left the station, for whom he had also worked for four years before he joined CBS, in 2013 after they elected to move Kelly back to the morning show and replace him with Steve Lacy.

Early years

Price was born to a Jewish family[1] and began his professional career as a corporate human resources executive. After working for eight years in the corporate world, he began his broadcasting career at WSEE-TV in Erie, Pennsylvania as a morning and noon weathercaster.

Career

From 1996-98, he joined CBS affiliate WBBM-TV in Chicago as morning weather anchor and feature reporter. From 1998-99, Price was the host of Fox WTXF-TV's morning show Good Day Philadelphia. From 1999-2003, he worked as a weatherman/co-host for WNYW-TV/Fox 5 New York City; for his final eight months, he worked as a feature reporter for the syndicated program Good Day Live.

Before Price came to The Early Show in 2003, he guest-starred as a consumer that was stranded during a robbery on Yes, Dear. He also made a cameo in the 2005 episode "Gorilla Warfare" on the sitcom The King of Queens. In 2003, Price joined CBS News' The Early Show as a weather anchor and reporter replacing Mark McEwen. He also was the weather anchor for CBS 2 News This Morning on WCBS-TV in New York until 2006. And he occasionally fills in for Harry Smith on The Early Show. After Bob Barker announced his retirement from The Price Is Right late in 2006, Price auditioned as a replacement. Despite not getting the job there, he did host a week of shows on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for the week of March 3-7, 2008.

On June 28, 2012 it was announced that Dave Price will be returning to Good Day New York as a co-anchor along with Rosanna Scotto starting July 2, 2012. He was quoted by Newsday as saying "The chance to rejoin Fox 5 and be a part of the ‘Good Day New York’ family again was one I couldn't pass up. I've been friends with Rosanna [Scotto] forever and to be honest -- it's tough to get a table at Fresco -- so this will help a lot. I can't wait to start the day with our viewers and provide all the news and information they need and maybe a few smiles and laughs each morning, too. It doesn't get much better than this. I'm raring to go.”[2]

Dave left the show abruptly on January 24, announcing his departure at the end of the broadcast. Reports conflict as to the reason for his exit, but all agree that he requested to be let out of his contract. Some sources claimed he was to be moved to the earlier 4:30 - 7AM news broadcast, as former Good Day Anchor Greg Kelly was to be returned to his former position, his brief stint as evening news anchor ended. Dave was against the move, and asked to be let out of his contract.

Price released a statement saying: “I had a great experience returning to Fox 5 but it is time to look for opportunities outside WNYW. I love [co-host] Rosanna [Scotto] and the gang and wish them all the best.”

On August 27, 2015, Dave appeared on WNBC's Today in New York morning newscast doing the weather. On August 31st and on September 2nd, 2015 Dave appeared on WNBC's "News 4 New York at Noon" doing the weather. Dave Price Became a WNBC weathercaster for the News 4 NY at Noon. He also does fill-ins for the morning and evening news casts, as well as for NBC's The Today Show.
