Meet The Team

Brian Taff

BRIAN TAFF joined Action News as an Anchor and Reporter in October of 2009, just in time to watch the Phillies go for their second World Series Title in two years' time.

Brian comes to Action News from Albany, NY, where, for the last 5 years, he served as anchor and editor of Capital Tonight, a nightly news and interview show seen all across upstate New York. In that role, Brian covered news of statewide significance, and conducted live, long-form interviews with every major politician and newsmaker in New York State, winning the Associated Press Award for "Best Interview" two consecutive years. Under Brian's watch, the show he created as a once-weekly, half-hour program, expanded to a nightly, hour-long program seen live in 9 of New York's 10 television markets - often not simply covering headlines, but generating them as well. As anchor of Capital Tonight, Brian broadcast live from all across the country, including from the National Political Conventions in 2004, and 2008.

Prior to hosting Capital Tonight, Brian served as weekend anchor and reporter at Capital News 9 in Albany, a 24 hour news channel owned and operated by Time Warner Cable. Through that experience, Brian anchored extended live coverage of several of the Capital Region's most significant news events.

Brian began his career in broadcast journalism at WVII-TV in Bangor, Maine.

A graduate of Boston College and a native of Upstate New York, Brian is proud to join the Action News family covering the day to day events of the Delaware Valley.

When not at work, or following his favorite sports teams, Brian enjoys spending time on the water. When Mother Nature makes boating impossible, he can be found skiing or simply enjoying outdoor life in the Great Northeast.
