Meggan Gray

Meggan was born and raised right here in South Mississippi. She grew up in Gulfport and attended St. John High School (now St. Patrick High) before leaving the coast for the "loveliest village on the plains" to attend Auburn University.

Meggan is up long before dawn to anchor Good Morning Mississippi every weekday beginning at 4:30 a.m. When the show goes off air at 7 a.m., she hops over to the newsroom to anchor news cutins during "CBS This Morning."

Meggan began her career in broadcasting at WLOX in 2003, after graduating Magna Cum Laude from Auburn University with a degree in Mass Communication. Her first job was a morning tape editor. Soon after that, she started producing.

Her first time in front of the camera was in the Summer of 2005, when she started doing live shots for Good Morning Mississippi. She became a full time reporter for WLOX in the Fall of 2006, and was reunited with the Good Morning Mississippi team as a co-anchor in January of 2007. Meggan says she loves being a part of the show she remembers so well growing up.

Meggan is thrilled to be working in her hometown community. She's always loved South Mississippi for its people, diverse culture, and beautiful coastal views. Her parents are also a big part of the community; they've owned and operated their own business in Gulfport for more than 30 years. Her sister Kristen and brother-in-law David also live and work in Gulfport.

Meggan married her college sweetheart, John, who is a principal architect with Allred Stolarski Architectural Group in Ocean Springs. Together they have three beautiful (and very active) children - Austin, Avery, and Aiden.

Oh, and by the way -- Meggan loves to sing! She loves musical theatre and has performed in many local theater productions. You may remember her as Maria in KNS' "The Sound of Music" in 2008.

Meggan is also a graduate of Leadership Gulf Coast. She has a passion for children and enjoys serving on the board of directors for Lynn Meadows Discovery Center, as well as serving as a life member for Junior Auxiliary of Gulfport.
