He is also the founding partner of Top News Talent, LLC, a coaching, training and representation company for broadcast, and digital journalists.
He then moved to KCBS-TV (then-known as KNXT) in Los Angeles in 1980 as a reporter, eventually becoming head of the Investigative Team and weekend anchor, as well as a host of a short-lived 7 p.m.
[2] At KCOP, he received an Emmy Award for coverage of the Reginald Oliver Denny beating, which started the L.A. area riots.
The interview was controversial at the time because its videotape got distributed for sale instead of airing on "free" television or cable.
Many television stations and the National Enquirer, which printed many details about the trial, refused to carry advertising for the video.
He left KNBC at the end of 2006 to join KTVX-TV in Salt Lake City, Utah, as an evening anchor.
[6] At the end of 2016, Becker left KUSI to become the news director for KMIR-TV in Palm Springs, California.
