Background

About Rob Archer

As a seasoned news anchor and host on KNX News 97.1 FM Los Angeles, I bring a wealth of experience to the table. My expertise has been recognized with multiple awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association, Radio & Television News Association of Southern California, and the L.A. Press Club. I'm a talented news writer who believes in conversational-style brevity and clarity. I hate wasted words and bureaucratic jargon. With 45 years of experience delivering compelling content, I bring stories to life through the power of words and sound. I'm active in SAG-AFTRA, serving on the Broadcast Steering Committee. I was the broadcaster representative on the Los Angeles Board of Directors from 2015 to 2021. Previously, I hosted and anchored the news on KFI Los Angeles. Before that, you heard me as a personality on KBIG Los Angeles. I hosted syndicated radio shows worldwide through Dial Global (now Westwood One) and created multiple new streaming music formats. I made my marks in Miami and Orlando, Florida, before landing in L.A. in While the first half of my radio career was in music, I've seen how vital broadcast journalism is, especially in our current times. Research shows that local radio and television news are two of the last forms of news media most trusted by the audience.
