Gray Names Peter Zampa Senior National Correspondent

Gray Television today promoted Peter Zampa to senior national correspondent for the Gray Television Washington News Bureau. In his new role, Peter will be based in New York City covering the local impact of national and international stories for Gray affiliates, including Wall Street and the United Nations. He will also provide unique analysis for Local News Live, Gray’s streaming network that provides live news coverage on more than 500 Gray station websites, connected TV apps, and mobile apps.

“Our viewers trust Gray to provide fair and unbiased reporting with a distinctly local perspective,” Gray Chief Operating Officer Sandy Breland said. “Peter will focus not only on the big stories happening in New York City, but how they affect the communities we serve.”

Zampa joined Gray’s D.C. bureau in June 2015 as a multimedia journalist. He covered major stories in the nation’s capital including multiple elections, critical court cases and decisions, congressional hearings, agency actions, state visits, and more. Peter also travels the nation for a regular Listening to America report, uncovering how decisions in Washington affect real people outside the beltway.

Lisa Allen, general manager of Gray’s Washington operations, said: “Peter is a relatable storyteller who understands how to connect national headlines with viewers’ concerns in each of our markets. We are excited to expand our coverage to New York City and give our audience a new lens on the news events that impact their daily lives.”

Zampa graduated from Boston University, where he majored in broadcast journalism and minored in international relations. He has worked for major media companies around the globe, notably ESPN, NBC and Comcast.
