Daniel Kocher

Lead Producer: Idaho Today

Hello, I am Daniel and I am the Producer of Idaho Today! I graduated from Penn State University in 2020 with a degree in Telecommunications. Before coming to Boise, I worked for WFXR in Roanoke, VA as the Producer of the lifestyle show Living Local in Virginia. When I am not working, I enjoy playing the bass guitar (and other instruments, but mostly bass), listening to 1960s rock n’ roll, watching college basketball, and have recently taken up a new hobby, rock climbing.
