Tony Pipitone is a thirteen time Emmy® award-winning NBC6 Investigative reporter, one of the most-honored investigative reporters in Florida. Pipitone joined the Team 6 Investigators in March of 2014.
In addition to 13 Suncoast Emmy® awards, including the chapter's Silver Circle Award, recognizing 25 years of excellence in television, Pipitone has also earned six Edward R. Murrow awards and dozens of statewide and regional awards.
Pipitone's stories have helped put people in jail and get them out, exposed political and government corruption, and shed light on other illegal activities.
He joined NBC6 after 26 years at WKMG-TV in Orlando, where the Orlando Sentinel called him "one of the finest reporters in Orlando television history."
Pipitone hopes to continue that legacy in South Florida, where he lives with his wife Myriam. They have two grown sons, leaving them plenty of time to enjoy the Miami scene -- especially the beach, restaurants and golf courses.
