He has broadcast live for CNN and reported from inside the Oregon State Penitentiary. He is currently anchoring weekend weather at KMPH-FOX 26 in Central California under his family name Jim De La Vega and is married to television anchor/reporter Kathryn Herr of CBS affiliate KGPE.

Being interviewed at KPHO-TV. Jim is very good at talking. He is also very good at eating and napping.

“24/​7 will keep you up 24/​7. Jim Brown’s debut, a nightmarish twist on reality TV, is a finger-burning page-turner that you won’t be able to put down. The tribe has spoken: 24/​7 is a winner.”
– Harlan Coben
