Benjamin Lloyd is the Digital Director for News5, overseeing all content created for our digital and social platforms, while also lending a technical helping hand to our Sales and Creative Services teams.
He leads the News5 Digital Desk in its efforts to bring breaking news, extensive coverage of local events, and severe weather coverage to viewers across southern Colorado.
The Colorado Broadcaster's Association has recognized these efforts with Awards of Excellence for Best Station Website (KOAA.com) and Best Documentary for the State of Wildlife Rehabilitation Inside Colorado (with Jon McMichael). The work of the team has also been recognized by the Associated Press Television and Radio Association for Best Digital Presence.
Being a newshound has always been a part of his life as he’s followed local, national, and international events as a lover of history and the relation to current events. Raised in a suburb of Dallas, Texas, he graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor of Arts in Telecommunications.
He's expanded on that background with CU Boulder's Cybersecurity program rounded out with information technology certifications for CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, Linux Essentials, and Python entry-level programming.
When not checking his social media feeds for the latest on what’s going on in our communities, Benjamin can be found reading extensively or enjoying Colorado’s outdoors with new hikes, competitive shooting, and plenty of open roads to enjoy a drive or a motorcycle ride.
