One of Conor Wight's first steps in the world of broadcast news was earning an internship with CBS in New York City, a stone's throw from where he was born in New Jersey. As a newcomer to Minnesota, he's thrilled to rejoin CBS as a reporter with WCCO.
Conor arrives in the Twin Cities after working for five years at CNY Central News (WTVH/WSTM) in Syracuse, New York. He first arrived in the "Mighty Salt City" in 2016 to study broadcast journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. In 2020, Conor graduated and joined CNY Central, earning the Syracuse Press Club Newcomer of the Year Award. He'd go on to be a founding member of the CNY Central I-Team investigative unit. It was in this capacity that Conor won an Edward R. Murrow Award for his reporting showing a link between lead poisoning in Syracuse's youth and teen gun violence; he'd play a leading role in several Emmy and Murrow awards that the station earned for Overall Excellence.
Conor is excited to explore all that Minnesota has to offer, from downtown Minneapolis to the beautiful lakefronts to continuing his love/hate relationship with the winter. When he's not at work, you'll find him watching or attempting to play soccer, hiking or perusing a local record store. Conor is the proud son of two immigrant parents hailing from England and Ireland, respectively, never taking for granted the power and value of the First Amendment as a first-generation American.
