A graduate โof โUNR’s Reynolds School of Journalism, Samudio dedicated 26 years to covering sportsโฃ inโ Nevada. He began his career at KOLO 8 โinโ Reno, spending 10 years as a sports anchor, and later served as sports director at KTNV inโ Las Vegas before returning toโค Reno as Sports director for KRNV News 4โค in 2005.He continued inโ that role, and with Nevada Sports Net (NSN), until โคhis retirement four years ago.
samudio was a co-founder of NSN, which launched in September 2018, and his contributions to Nevada โbroadcasting where recognized with his โinduction into the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hallโฃ ofโ Fameโ in 2017. He wasโ a pioneer in local sports coverage, serving as the first host of “Wolf Pack All Access” whenโฃ it debuted in 2012, and โฃplayed a key roleโข in the Emmy-nominated, Telly Award-winning documentary “Keep Chopping: Wolf Pack Training Camp,” previewing the 2016 Nevada football season.
