Reporter, NY1
Budd Mishkin is the host and reporter for NY1's weekly profile series, "One On 1 with Budd Mishkin," which profiles influential New Yorkers, such as Wynton Marsalis, Wyclef Jean, Robert Caro, Pete Hamill, Rachel Ray, Bobby Flay, Mike Wallace, Donald Trump, and Ed Koch. Budd started with the NY1 in 1992 and served as a sports anchor/reporter for NY1's nightly program "Sports on 1, The Last Word," covering some of the biggest events in recent New York sports history: the Rangers Stanley Cup victory, the Yankees World Series run, the 2000 Subway Series and the Knicks playoff series against the Chicago Bulls, the Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat. He has interviewed Walt Frazier, Bill Bradley, Rod Gilbert, Boris Becker, Jim Palmer and Brooks Robinson, to name a few. Since NY1's inception, Budd has contributed feature stories outside the world of sports on subjects ranging from the one-year commemoration of September 11th to profiles of Steve Van Zandt and Clarence Clemons of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. His anchoring work was cited in an Emmy awarded to NY1 in 1999 for a half-hour special on the death of Joe Dimaggio. Budd graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in International Relations and has worked in radio and television news and/or sports ever since, including jobs at WNBC Radio, CNN New York, and WRGB in Albany, before coming to NY1. He has also worked as a freelance feature reporter for "Sportsdesk" on the MSG Network. One previous job that gets excluded from his resume? Budd served as a radio ski reporter in 1985-86, calling stations around the Northeast with daily updates on conditions. He did this not from the slopes but from his cramped apartment in Manhattan. Away from NY1, Budd has turned a hobby into a slowly developing second career: Russian folk singer! (2007)
