About Dan Miller (journalist)
- Zachariah Daniel Miller III (September 30, 1941 – April 8, 2009), commonly known as Dan Miller, was an American television personality who grew up in Augusta, Georgia. Miller was a longtime news anchorman for WSMV (formerly WSM-TV) in Nashville, Tennessee.
- Beginning his tenure there as a weathercaster in 1969, he moved to the news anchor desk in 1970.
- In 1986, Miller left Nashville to serve as principal anchor at KCBS-TV in Los Angeles, a position he held for one year.
- Miller then gained fame in the United States nationally as the announcer and sidekick for his friend and one-time WSM-TV colleague, Pat Sajak, during Sajak's short-lived CBS late-night talk show, The Pat Sajak Show. Upon returning to Nashville in 1992, Dan resurrected his own interview show, Miller & Company, which originally aired Sunday nights on WSMV from 1980 to 1986.
- The Miller & Company revival aired weekday afternoons to a national cable audience on The Nashville Network.
- When it was discontinued by TNN, it was picked up locally by WSMV.
- In 1995, WSMV replaced Miller & Company with a 5pm newscast.
- A few months later, Miller returned to the WSMV anchor desk and continued his work there until his death in 2009.
- He also hosted the game shows Top Card and 10 Seconds. Miller appeared in the CBS movie, Big Dreams and Broken Hearts: The Dottie West Story, which featured Michele Lee as Dottie West.
- He appeared as a guest on Hollywood Squares in 1989.
- In 1999, he was granted an exclusive interview with the parents of murdered six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey, which led to many appearances on nationally televised news programs. Miller was also a prolific writer of essays about life on and off the television screen, at "Dan Miller's Notebook".
