Conan Patrick Nolan is the political reporter for KNBC-TV in Los Angeles, NBC-Universal's flagship station for the western United States.
Established in 1966 by Tom Brokaw and Bob Abernethy, News Conference normally broadcasts Sunday mornings following Meet the Press in the Los Angeles market.
Nolan's first full-time broadcasting position was at KVEC-AM radio in San Luis Obispo, where he served as the Assistant News Director.
In 1989, he reported live for NBC News from Candlestick Park moments after the 7.2 magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake (he had been on vacation attending the sporting event at the stadium).
Nolan also reported from Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom; Pakistan during the war in Afghanistan; Lebanon during the anniversary of the September 11 attacks; and in Kobe and Tokyo, Japan following two massive earthquakes in 1995 and 2011, respectively.
