Meg Alexander
Meg Alexander joined Oklahoma's NewsChannel 4 in 1997. She anchors the 5 p.m. and 6:30 newscasts.
Meg is an award winning journalist known for her versatility. She's been honored by the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters and The Society of Professional Journalists for specific stories and her overall reporting ability.
She began her career as a tape editor at KGAN in Iowa and worked her way through the ranks as a producer, reporter and anchor at WMDT in Maryland.
Meg believes hard work, hands-on experience and being well-read is the best approach to strong journalism. Meg is one of the few evening anchors that goes into the community and reports almost every day. As viewers have seen with her reporting and series on tough jobs, Meg is not afraid to roll up her sleeves to gather the facts and get the work done.
As someone with an insatiable curiosity, Meg also loves her Good Question franchise. She welcomes all questions big and small.
Meg has a B. A. in Political Science from Colorado College and a Master's Degree in Journalism from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
She has a passion for athletics, music and reading. She was a competitive tennis player, figure skater and even played women's ice hockey in college. These days you're apt to find her on the ski hill or playing golf. Meg also worked professionally in musical theater and can be found reading a novel whenever she gets free time.
As a member of the Junior League of Oklahoma City and the Kappa Alpha Theta Alumni Group, Meg makes giving back to her community a priority. She also helps with numerous charities.
Meg lives with her husband, son and two daughters in Oklahoma City. She stays busy with volunteering at school and strives to set a good example for her children both as a mother and career woman.
Hometown - Plainwell, Michigan
Life Goal - To write mystery novels and raise some decent kiddos.
Play any sports/Favorite Sport - I love, love, love to downhill ski. I love doing most sports. I also enjoy going to football games with my husband. He's taught me the intricacies of the sport.
Favorite TV Show - Anything that involves a "who dunnit."
Favorite Car - Some day I would like to drive a refurbished 1968 red mustang convertible.
Happiest moment in my life was..The moment each of my three children was born - I guess that's three happiest moments.
4 notable persons you'd invite to dinner - Eva Peron, Sue Grafton, Henry David Thoreau and a toss up between Chelsea Handler/Tina Fey. (These last two may not be notable - but they'd be fun)
Favorite food - Steak with Bearnaise sauce along with artichokes dipped in lemon butter. Yum!
I have a pet - yellow lab named Sophie
Knew you wanted to be a reporter whenÂ…I used to do hours of "radio interview" shows on an old tape recorder since about age 6. I already see my daughter doing the same!
Best movie of all time - Drama - "Shawshank Redemption" - Funny - "Fletch", "This is Spinal Tap" and "A Fish Called Wanda".
