Weinbaum announced the move in an e-mail to news outlets Tuesday. He had been with Channel 9 for eight years after moving to KC from Albuquerque, New Mexico, in January 2004.
“This is a very exciting opportunity for me, and I cannot wait to get started,” Weinbaum said in the news release. "But this is somewhat bittersweet because I'm saying goodbye to my KMBC news family and leaving broadcasting. It's been a rewarding career. And there aren’t too many in this industry that can truly say they’ve worked with some of the best reporters and photographers in the business. I’ve been lucky to do so.”
Heart to Heart International CEO Andre Butler added: "Dan adds distinctive skills and experience to a strong team at Heart to Heart that is ready to take our communications to the next level in 2012 as we commemorate 20 years of connecting people and resources to a world in need."
I always enjoyed Weinbaum's work. And so did others. He won three regional Emmy awards in the last five years for his reporting, including back-to-back wins in 2010 and 2011.
Best of luck to him.
