Dave Huddleston will join CBS 3's Eyewitness News team as co-anchor of the weekend evening newscasts with Mary Stoker Smith beginning November 17th, Vice President and News Director Susan Schiller has announced.

Huddleston was most recently co-anchor of the Ten O'clock News at WTXF, the FOX station in Philadelphia, since June, 2002. Since coming to our area, Huddleston has both anchored and reported on major stories from the collapse of the Tropicana Hotel Parking Garage in Atlantic City to the Philadelphia Eagles march to the Super Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida.

"We're delighted to add Dave to our talented roster of journalists at Eyewitness News," Schiller says. "He has an impeccable reputation in our market and in our business. It's an honor to have him with us." Huddleston adds, "I'm excited to be joining the CBS 3 news team and delighted to have the opportunity to stay in Philadelphia which has become home to me and my family."

A multi-award-winning anchor and reporter, Huddleston came to the area from Minneapolis where he had been an anchor/reporter for WCCO, the CBS station there, since 1993. While at WCCO, he was one of a team of reporters to receive the prestigious Albert I. DuPont-Columbia University Award for a series of stories on the importance of mentoring. Huddleston also spent three years as a weekend anchor for WKOW in Madison, Wisconsin. In addition, he served as the host for the national Emmy Award-winning science show Newton's Apple. Other honors include the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award.

A native of Tacoma, Washington, Dave graduated from Washington State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism and television production. Huddleston and his wife, Tracey, reside in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, with their two daughters.
