This show is a co-production of KCRW/Santa Monica (89.9 FM, KCRW.com) and Public Radio International, which will distribute the program nationwide. Since June 1992, Olney has been host and executive producer of KCRW's signature daily news/public affairs program, Which Way, LA?, honored with nearly 40 national, regional and local awards for broadcast excellence since its inception. Founded in the aftermath of the LA riots of 1992, the program serves, in the words of The New York Times, as the "main forum for serious issues" in Southern California. It is considered essential listening in government offices and newsrooms, kitchens, cars and portable radios. From the start, the program attracted national attention. "Nightline," "The Today Show" and "Good Morning America" turned to Olney as the person whose finger was on the pulse of the city whenever Los Angeles was in the news. Warren Olney is a veteran broadcast journalist. Concurrent with his hosting duties on Which Way, LA?, from June 1999 to September 2000 Olney served as co-anchor of LA public television station KCET's "Life & Times Tonight," a nightly public affairs show. He is the only person to have been twice named "Broadcast Journalist of the Year" - for his work in both radio and television - by the Society of Professional Journalists, Los Angeles. He is the recipient of Emmy Awards for reporting and anchoring, and Golden Mikes for investigative reporting. Olney was a television news reporter and anchor from 1966 to 1991, working in Washington, D.C., Sacramento, and Los Angeles, where he was political editor, special assignment reporter and anchor at all of the network-owned stations, KABC, KCBS and KNBC, as well as independent KCOP. During his career, Olney covered local, state and national politics, including presidential primaries, nominating conventions and inaugurals, and superpower summit meetings in Washington and Geneva; his special projects and investigations have focused on crime, science, the environment, and many other subjects. Overseas assignments took him to Europe, Asia and Central America. He also served as a print reporter for the Sacramento Bee (California) and the Newport News Daily Press (Virginia). Olney's interviews, book reviews, articles and columns have appeared in The Los Angeles Times, The Village Voice, Los Angeles Magazine, and California Journal, among other publications. He speaks frequently on politics, the media, the evolving character of Southern California and other subjects, and is frequently called upon to moderate public panels on a broad variety of topics. At the University of Southern California, Olney developed and taught "Broadcast Journalism," a laboratory course for graduate and undergraduate students, from 1976-1982. As an actor, Olney has appeared in numerous feature films, including, "Crimson Tide," "The Fisher King," and "Higher Learning," as well as other feature and TV productions.
