Veteran Eyewitness News reporter Robin Mackintosh joined CBS 3 in September, 1970, following three years as a news writer for sister station KYW Newsradio.

Among his many achievements, Mackintosh has held interviews with such international figures such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Princess Grace, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and President George W. Bush. Reporting in 1973, he accompanied John Cardinal Krol to Ireland and produced "To Ireland with Love," a feature report on the violence there.

His reporting has brought him recognition many times in his career, including a Philadelphia Emmy Award in 1986 for feature reporting; a Pennsylvania Associated Press Broadcasters Association Award for spot news and, in 1983, a special honor presented by President Ronald Reagan at the White House for a series on volunteerism.

His journalism career began at the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, where he worked as copy supervisor in the editorial department from 1964 to 1968. Following that, he moved to the Virgin Islands in 1969 to work for the Virgin Island Daily News as a reporter.

In December 2006, Mackintosh became the longest serving street reporter in Philadelphia after the retirement of NBC 10's Bill Baldini.

On Wednesday, July 30, 2008, Robin Mackintosh gave his last on-air report from Love Park in Philadelphia. What a fitting place for his last broadcast. He celebrated his 40th anniversary on TV that day. As a native of Philadelphia, he will still reside in the area.

A 1971 graduate of Temple University, Mackintosh received his Bachelor of Science degree in English/Communications. He and his wife Barbara have three grown children and reside in Montgomery County.
