One on One-100: Dave Roberts

ABOUT JANE

Since 1997, Jane has been producing and anchoring One on One with Jane Mitchell, giving viewers an in-depth look at San Diego’s top sports figures from young stars to veterans and Hall of Famers. She was never a big sports fan, but fell in love with baseball at her first spring training in ’97. She brings her newfound appreciation for baseball and football to the show, but more than that, peels back the layers of a player’s often rough and tough game-day façade to reveal their many layers of struggle, success, triumph and tragedy, humor and humility that make them who they are on and off the field. Their vulnerability and strength are revealed in a way that is both appreciated by the players and welcomed by new fans and die-hard fans alike.

She is happy to be working in her hometown, a graduate from the University of California San Diego with Political Science honors. She has a Master of Science in Journalism from the prestigious Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in Chicago. She began her career in Wichita Falls, Texas and Tulsa, Oklahoma, reporting on everything from teacher strikes to tornadoes. She returned home as a producer and reporter at KNSD-TV and then joined Cox Communications to produce and report for a special channel for the Republican National Convention in San Diego. She was then hired to help create Channel 4 San Diego before its launch in 1997.

Nearly 100 shows are in the archives with interviews of such favorites and greats including Ken Caminiti, Tim Flannery, Tony Gwynn, Trevor Hoffman, Jerry Coleman, Ted Williams, Jake Peavy, Ryan Klesko, Doug Flutie, LaDainian Tomlinson, Drew Brees and Junior Seau.
