NBC 7 San Diego consumer reporter Bob Hansen is retiring on Nov. 18.
“I’m turning 68 in January,” Hansen said. “I love my job, but I believe it’s time to move on. I’m feeling a mixture of both anxiety and excitement.”
Hansen has been in the business for over 30 years, initially serving as a copyboy for the Houston Chronicle. He later freelanced for National Public Radio. He has also worked as a weekend anchor and as a general assignment reporter, his career taking him to Missouri, Florida, Kentucky, and California.
He has received numerous local and national awards.
At NBC, he also helms the NBC 7 Responds Team, a consumer investigative unit that has saved San Diego viewers more than $1 million.
Hansen has a bachelor’s degree from the University of California-San Diego and a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Missouri.
