Lindsay Czarniak is an anchor and reporter for News4 Sports. She also co-hosts Gameplan, News4's Redskins show that airs during football season.

Czarniak joined News4 in June 2005 from WTVJ-TV, NBC's station in Miami. While there, she was a sports anchor and reporter and hosted Fins TV, the Miami Dolphins show. During that time, she was also a pit reporter covering the ACRA racing series for the SPEED Channel and NASCAR's Busch series for NBC.

NBC Sports has recognized Czarniak’s talents and tapped her to join NBC's Olympic coverage in 2006 from Turino and 2008 from Beijing. During the Games, she reported live on the NBC Networks and kept News4 viewers in the loop with her video diaries and blog. From Beijing, Czarniak hosted the first-ever Olympic coverage on the Oxygen network.

Czarniak's interest in the sports journalism stems directly from her father, Chet, who covered local sports in the Washington area for years before moving to USA Today.

Czarniak grew up in Northern Virginia and graduated from Centreville High School. She attended college at James Madison University, then began her broadcasting career as a CNN production assistant. She has also worked for WAWS-TV/WTEV-TV, both in Jacksonville, Fla.
