Emmy award-winning journalist Mike Manzoni joined the FOX 9 team in August 2024.

Prior to arriving in the Twin Cities, he spent several years as a freelance reporter at NBC10 Boston and NECN. His many high-profile assignments there included covering the aftermath of the deadly Merrimack Valley gas explosions that made national headlines, reporting live outside the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, after the death of former President George H.W. Bush and delivering live reports during the George Floyd protests and related clashes with law enforcement across Boston.

He also uncovered suspected price gouging on a major online retailer's website, triggering an investigation by the state attorney general's office and prompting a corporate review of questionable sales transactions. In addition, he exposed serious community health concerns at an asbestos-laden, abandoned warehouse, which prompted the property owner to make changes to protect public health.

Prior to returning home to the Bay State, he was a reporter at ABC affiliate WFTV, the top-rated station in Orlando, Florida. During the two years he spent reporting in Central Florida, he covered several national stories, including the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, the deadly alligator attack at Disney World, President Obama's visit to Orlando, Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Matthew.

Before his time in the Sunshine State, he spent two years at WSPA, the CBS affiliate in Spartanburg, South Carolina. While in the Palmetto State, he spent a week in Columbia covering the Confederate flag controversy at the South Carolina State House. He also covered the devastating flooding in Richland County.

Manzoni earned a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism and political science from Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.
