Journalist
In 1980, Bob Beers left UNR's school of journalism to become the news director for KCBN and KRNO radio in Reno, where he already worked as a disc jockey. At the time, he was the youngest radio news director in the history of the state.
While Sarah finished her sociology degree at UNR, Bob learned to make current events interesting for radio listeners, and when Sarah graduated, the two moved to Las Vegas where employment opportunities were better.
Beers went to work at KLUC and KMJJ radio, where, in 1982, he won "Best Miniseries" and "Best Newscast" awards from the Associated Press in the AP's Medium Market California-Nevada-Hawaii division.
