Ali Meyer
Ali Meyer joined the Oklahoma's NewsChannel 4 Team as a General Assignment reporter in July of 2000. She anchors the NewsChannel 4 Morning Show and reports for the 5pm, 6pm and 10pm newscasts.
Before joining KFOR-TV, Ali worked as a general assignment reporter at WTVH in Syracuse, New York. Ali graduated Cum Laude from the Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University.
Since she started, Ali has traveled all over the country chasing the big stories for NewsChannel 4. Ali was part of the team that covered the Timothy McVeigh execution in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Ali also spent 10 days in Salt Lake City, Utah, covering the Winter Olympic Games. Ali scoured the eastern half of Texas, following emergency crews as they collected pieces of debris from the Columbia Shuttle disaster. Ali was the first reporter to deliver live pictures of the tornado that damaged the GM plant.
Through the years Ali has been honored for excellence in journalism. In 2009 Ali won a regional Emmy for her in-depth reporting on a local drug ring. It was her fourth nomination for the award. Ali has also won two national Gracie Awards for her reports on issues affecting women.
Ali has also been honored by the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters, the Oklahoma Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, the Oklahoma Associated Press and the William Randolph Hearst Foundation for her investigative work.
When Ali's not chasing news stories for Oklahoma's NewsChannel 4, she loves spending time with her family. Ali and her husband, Zachary, have three young daughters.
Ali says, "For me, our girls are the reason I love journalism. Anaka, Liesel and Elliotte are reminders that I do this job to make our community a safer, more informed place."
