Dale Cardwell Career
For over 30 years, Consumer Investigator Cardwell has relentlessly protected consumers and saved taxpayers millions.
Dale’s career began at WKAG in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. His exposure of concerns related to the 1985 crash of a U.S. Army chartered jet that killed 248 Fort Campbell soldiers in Gander, Newfoundland made international news and propelled Dale to a prominent investigative role with the CBS-TV affiliate in Birmingham, Alabama. Dale performed investigative reporting stints for WRAL-TV in Raleigh and WSMV-TV in Nashville before serving as an investigative consumer reporter for WSB-TV in Atlanta, the number one station in the nation’s ninth largest television market. Teaming Up with Clark Howard
In 1996, Dale joined consumer advocate Clark Howard. Together they formed one of the nation’s most successful consumer reporting teams. Clark and Dale won numerous awards for their business reporting and, under Clark’s tutelage, Dale became an expert at recognizing financial scams and determining the components that separate sound financial investments, as well as products and services, from those that are “too good to be true.”
WSB-TV expanded Dale’s role in early 2000 to include ferreting out political corruption and taxpayer abuse. Dale’s efforts saved Georgians tens of millions of dollars, led to the jailing of some of Atlanta’s most notorious politicians, and caused others to be removed from office. He left WSB-TV in late 2007 to run for the United States Senate. Holding the sentiment that government had been “bought” by special interests, Dale refused PAC (political action committee) contributions.
In 2013, Dale expanded his consumer protection network to Tampa, Florida and, two years later, launched his service in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Nashville, and Birmingham. In 2016, national brands like Sir Grout and America’s Preferred Home Warranty began to recognize the power of having an authentic consumer investigator vet their performance.
