Dale Hurd
A CBN News veteran, Dale Hurd began his journalism career in 1982 at a daytime only AM radio station in Kalamazoo, Mich. In 1987 he joined the CBN Radio Network as a program host and news anchor.
Since joining CBN News, Dale has reported extensively from Western Europe, as well as China, Russia, and Central and South America.
Dale's first foreign assignment to Moscow in 1991 was just months before the eventual break up of the Soviet Union. It remains his favorite stint. "It was clear to me, as soon as we landed in 1991, that the Soviet Union was finished," he says. "The West had left it behind. And we reported that."
Dale also covered China's opening to capitalism in the early 1990s, as well as the Yugoslav Civil War. CBN News awarded him its Command Performance Award for his reporting from Moscow and Sarajevo.
Since 9/11, Dale has reported extensively on various aspects of the global war on terror in the United States and Europe.
