Biography
Dave Price built a career on reliability and a disarming, easygoing charm in the high-pressure world of morning television. After honing his skills in local markets, he landed at the CBS Early Show, where for years he delivered the weather from Rockefeller Center—and often from unpredictable locations, engaging directly with the public in his signature 'Price Is Right' segments. His shift to NBC's New York flagship station, WNBC, saw him become a familiar afternoon presence in the nation's top media market. More than just a forecaster, Price became a trusted part of the daily routine for viewers, known for his straightforward explanations of complex weather systems and his ability to maintain a steady, friendly demeanor whether reporting on a blizzard or a sunny spring day.
Generation X
1965–1980
The latchkey kids. Raised during divorce, recession, and the end of the Cold War. Skeptical, self-reliant, media-literate. They invented indie culture, grunge, and the early internet — then watched the Boomers take credit.
Dave was born in 1966, placing them squarely in the Generation X. The events that shaped this generation — economic uncertainty, the end of the Cold War, and the rise of personal computing — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
