Jon Frankel, formerly a national news correspondent for CBS's The Early Show, joined the award winning cast of Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel as a reporter in the spring of 2006. Frankel's experience in hard news and sports television make him a perfect fit for the show's intelligent and unique look at athletics and the surrounding issues that affect the games and its athletes.
Prior to his work at CBS, Frankel served as a general assignment reporter for ABC News from 1998 to 1999. His time at the network was split between reports for World News Tonight, Nightline, Good Morning America, and as a substitute anchor for World News Now.
Jon also worked at NBC as a correspondent for the Today show between 1995 and 1997. He has served as a sports anchor for WNBC-TV New York, WPLG-TV Miami, and WPEC-TV West Palm Beach.
In 1987, Frankel spent one year as a producer and editor for NFL Films. He later became friends with Bob Costas, as an associate producer for Costas's nationally syndicated radio talk show, Costas Coast to Coast.
Frankel attended Syracuse University where he graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism and political science. The sportscaster remains active competing in marathons, triathlons, and Ironman competitions. He currently lives in Manhattan with his wife and two children.
