News Director
Since setting foot on campus at the University of Missouri in the fall of 2009, Danny Spewak has worked at KCOU News in almost every capacity. Now a junior pursuing a dual degree in broadcast journalism and political science, Danny has also reported and anchored for KOMU-TV, the mid-Missouri NBC affiliate owned by MU, as well as KBIA, an affiliate of National Public Radio.
In addition to reporting work, Danny also serves as a public address announcer in the MU athletic department for baseball and women’s softball.
Danny spends a lot of his free time exercising, which sometimes includes living the dream on the basketball court as he overestimates his average athletic ability. When he reads, it’s mostly non-fiction because he’s a boring person; and when he watches TV, it is virtually guaranteed that he’s watching an episode of either Scrubs or Friday Night Lights.
Danny wastes the rest of his free time writing about college basketball for various websites. He has covered the Missouri Valley Conference tournament in St. Louis for the past four seasons, and since 2007, he has covered regular season games involving teams from the Big 12, SEC, Pac-10, Sun Belt, Atlantic Ten and Missouri Valley conferences.
