Kyle Cabodi

Class of 2008, Bachelor's



Kyle joined the 9News team in January of 2011 as a reporter and is thrilled to be working with some of the most talented journalists in the nation.

He came to Colorado from Fayetteville, Arkansas, where he reported on everything from crime to politics to Razorback football. While in Arkansas, Kyle won Arkansas Associated Press awards for his coverage of the 2009 Northwest Arkansas Ice Storm, the worst to hit the region in more than 100 years, and the 2010 election, in which he investigated campaign advertising claims made by former U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln. He reported live from the scene of two deadly EF3 tornadoes, one touching down in Mena, AR in 2009, and another practically destroying the town of Cincinnati, AR on New Years' Eve 2010.

Kyle is originally from sunny San Juan Capistrano, California. He graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Spanish. While in school, he reported, anchored, and produced for three years with Annenberg TV News, USC's award-winning, live nightly newscast. He was one of the first people on the scene when the Writers Guild of America began to strike in 2007 and was on the streets of Los Angeles when thousands poured out for the May Day Immigration March in 2008. His work for ATVN was nominated for a Hearst College Journalism award. While in college, he interviewed people such as Michael Phelps, George Lucas and Jay Leno. Kyle also interned for CNBC and KCBS/KCAL-TV in Los Angeles and KNSD-TV in San Diego. Outside of work, Kyle enjoys outrigger canoeing (which can be a little difficult to do in Colorado), hiking, and playing the saxophone and piano. He loves his Los Angeles sports (go Dodgers and Lakers!), and becomes scarily obsessed with Trojan football every fall.

Kyle speaks both English and Spanish, and is a member of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. Kyle would like to hear any and all news tips you may have!
