Rod Luck has been part of the KUSI NEWS operation since its inception
in 1990. He began serving in the capacity of Sports Director for the News at Ten from 1990 to September 1995. He is currently the Live-Remote Reporter for Good Morning San Diego and Inside San Diego. When the Morning News was launched in 1994, Rod worked both the News at Ten as well as the Morning News. In September of 1995, Rod moved solely to the Morning News and has further established himself as one of San Diego's most talked about personalities.

As a Sports Reporter and Director over the years, Rod is something of a sports legend. He has produced and hosted such participatory specials as "Rod Luck, Rookie Pitcher," in which he pitched for the Milwaukee Brewers in a major league game against California. Then there was "Rod Luck, Rookie Manager," a special and a game in which Rod led the Brewers to an 8-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Rod has produced and hosted such award-winning specials as "Rod Luck, Rookie Umpire," which scored him a paycheck for his umpire duties, as well as a United Press International Award for his efforts. Rod remains the only person to have pitched, managed and umpired a major league baseball game.

Rod's unique style was noted with a NASA Space Writers' Award for "Rod Luck, Flying High," a special on stunt flying in which Rod actually walked the wing of an airplane at 8,500 feet. Rod was also named Central Florida Magazine's "Best Sportscaster of 1986," "1971 Montana Sportscaster of the Year," and "King of Philadelphia Sports Talk Radio 1981 - 1983." He was a finalist for the Peabody Award and received an Emmy while working in Milwaukee.

Rod moved to San Diego from Orlando, Florida where he was Sports Director at WCPX from 1984-1989. He spent four years in Philadelphia from 1980-1984 at KYW and four years in Milwaukee at WISN from 1976-1980. Prior to that, Rod was a sportscaster in New Orleans, Portland, Montana and Maryland. He started in 1964 at age 16 as a radio disk jockey, and two years later started as a full-time TV sportscaster in Montana.

With a history of community involvement and a passion for charitable causes, Rod has received special recognition by the Special Olympics, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, United Way, and United Cerebral Palsy. He has since won other awards from the YMCA, Armed Forces YMCA, the Port of San Diego and San Diego City Schools.

Rod was honored by the San Diego section of the PGA as their "Media Person of the Year" in both 1991 and 1992. He has also been honored by the San Diego High School Coaches' Association for his extensive coverage of high school sports. In 1999, Rod received the keys to the City of El Cajon and National City for work done in those communities. In 2000 and again in 2007, "Rod Luck Day" was proclaimed in the City of San Diego.

Rod is also fiercely dedicated to the military community in San Diego. Every month he organizes a "KUSI Shopping Spree" for military families in need. He has helped people in every way from finding jobs to getting a woman-in-need a new prosthetic leg. The heartwarming stories of people he has helped are countless.
