Mark Sayre
Mark Sayre is a general assignment reporter in KTVU’s South Bay bureau primarily covering news, politics and technology in Santa Clara County as well as extended coverage in Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito counties, where many Bay Area commuters reside.
Mark believes that television is first a medium about people – and telling the stories of fellow Bay Area residents is one of the things he likes the most about working at KTVU. Just about every policy decision made by a government agency directly impacts the lives of individuals and finding a way to bring that connection to light is an important part of the work that Mark strives to do with every story.
Mark joined KTVU in 2022 after previously working for KPIX where he also covered the South Bay. He has also worked at KCBS/KCAL in Los Angeles and at two stations in Las Vegas in a variety of roles including news anchor and investigative reporter. Mark has three local Emmy awards and was on the reporting team which won the Radio and Television News Association of Southern California award for best evening newscast in Los Angeles.
Mark is a Bay Area native and graduated from both UC Berkeley and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Mark was also previously a news intern at KTVU.
