Megan Lee joined the news team as a multimedia journalist in July 2023. She typically reports for the 10 p.m. newscast.
She was born and raised in Royal Oak, Michigan, a suburb right outside Detroit. Megan earned a degree in broadcast and cinematic arts at Central Michigan University, where she minored in journalism. She is a proud graduate of CMU. Fire Up Chips!
After graduating in May 2021, she packed up her belongings and moved to Youngstown, Ohio. She worked at WKBN/WYTV, a CBS, Fox, and ABC affiliate. She wore many hats at her first job, starting as a multimedia journalist. After about three months in Youngstown, she became the evening weekend anchor on WKBN. While there, she covered many stories, including the East Palestine train derailment in February 2023. She also covered various stories about the impacts on residents, local businesses, and the overall health of those living there.
When she is away from the station, she enjoys cooking, volunteering at various organizations, going for walks along Lake Michigan, and traveling. She enjoys her trips down south to Charleston, South Carolina, the most! She has really enjoyed exploring Milwaukee and trying cheese curds around the area. She is always looking for the best pizza spot or a great cup of coffee. Feel free to email her with recommendations.
