A native of San Francisco, Mibach has been with KTVU since 2005, most recently serving as a Mornings on 2 co-anchor.

"I know you have options and I thank you from the bottom of my heart to allow us into your homes day in and day out."

Earlier in his career, Mibach reported for KVOA in Tucson, Arizona and WIBW in Topeka, Kansas. 

"Mike is a dedicated storyteller who cares deeply about the community and our role as journalists in the Bay Area," said Amber Eikel, the station's vice president and news director. "I'm proud to have him on our team and look forward to him representing our work and values on ‘The 10 o'clock News.’"
