Nigel Robertson joined WYFF News 4 in December 1999 as a reporter working the night shift for the late news.

From June 2002 to February 2005, he was the anchor of the 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. weekend newscasts, and can currently be seen sharing the anchor desk with Beth Brotherton each weekday evening on WYFF News 4 at 5. Nigel also doubles as a reporter several days a week.

But, in a way, Nigel Robertson's journalism career began a long time ago in the town of Champion, Ohio.

He and his parents would sit down to watch the news together every day.

As a result of that ritual, he developed a daily desire to know about the stories developing around him, both around the world and around the corner.

Nigel earned his BA in Telecommunications from Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio.

His focus of his studies was in Interpersonal Communications.

Nigel's professional career began at WTVG, the ABC affiliate in Toledo, Ohio. There, he worked as an assistant producer and weekend assignment editor, learning the ropes behind the camera.

His next move was to WCJB in Gainesville, Fla., where he worked as a one-man band reporter from their Ocala bureau.

Then in 1999, he joined WYFF 4 and began making his mark in the Upstate. In 2005, Nigel won an Emmy award for "Specialty Reporting", taking viewer inside Marine Boot camp. He has also been recognized by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences with Emmy nominations for "Business" and "Spot News Reporting".

Nigel has also received numerous journalism awards from the South Carolina Associated Press and The Electronic News Association of the Carolinas, including a 2004 first place in the political category for his report entitled "The King Holiday." Nigel has also done national stories for CNBC and the "SOS in America" program.

When he is not working, Nigel can be found in church, in the kitchen cooking, spending time with his friends or reading any Financial Magazine he can get his hands on.

Nigel and his wife are proud parents of two little boys and a black lab named "Pepper".
