About Ben Wineman

Yes, I\'m that guy from your TV. Living in the small town of Missoula, Montana, the local TV evening news anchor gets recognized a lot. It happens at the grocery store, the Friday night restaurant, the high school football game, and the library. But there are two sides to that experience for me. One, of course, it\'s nice to be recognized. It\'s a little boost to my confidence. But more importantly, every time I meet someone in our community, it reminds me that what I do matters, and what I do is important to the lives of so many Montanans. Along with my award-winning team at Non Stop Local, every night, we bring our audience the important stories that matter in their daily lives. We inform, we entertain, and we prepare for whatever might come their way. I\'m privileged to be able to help every day Montanans with my recurring segment \"Help Me Ben\". People from all over the Treasure State write into me, asking me to find solutions. In today\'s media landscape, our viewers don\'t just want to be told what\'s wrong in the world around them. They want solutions;\"Help Me Ben\" achieves that by bringing our audience real time journalism that finds answers, problem-solves, and above all, provides help to those who need it.Getting to tell the stories of this beautiful state is an honor that is on the forefront of my mind every single time that red light above the camera turns on.
