Robert Burns
Reporter
Robert joined the WINK News team in July 2010.
A native New Yorker (born in Buffalo), Robert was raised in Coral Springs, FL.
He received his AS degree in Broadcasting from The Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, and his BA degree in Communications from Lynn University. Go Knights! During his college years he covered Super Bowls XLI in Miami, and XLII in Phoenix for ESPN radio.
Robert got his start in TV reporting at KLFY-TV 10, a CBS affiliate in Lafayette, LA. During his 2 year stay in the bayou state he covered everything from hurricanes to the Gulf oil spill. The hospitality in Louisiana was great, but Robert can not be happier to 'bring his talents' back in the Sunshine State.
When he's not scrounging up a story, Robert likes to spend his free time either at the beach or ballroom dancing (after teaching during college, he just can't get rid of the itch).
