I'm Alyssa Miller and I co-anchor 13 NEWS This Morning from 5-7 a.m. with Jared Broyles. I'm a military kid and moved several times growing up, including to Japan where I lived for two years, but I'm an Okie through and through.
I earned a film degree from Oklahoma Wesleyan University in Bartlesville where I was captain of the women's soccer team. My involvement in sports led me to jumpstart sideline reporting for all university athletics and become the sole sports reporter for our online newspaper, The Eagle.
I got my first taste of Television News in 2017 during an internship at KWTV-News 9 in Oklahoma City and fell in love with the industry. That experience helped me land my first job here at WIBW-TV in November of 2018 as the weekday morning producer and weekend multimedia journalist. After about a year I moved into a reporter role, then weekend anchor, and in 2021 became the weekday morning anchor.
I married my husband, Colton Miller, in August of 2022 and we have an adorable, playful, 85lb Goldendoodle named Millie. In our free time, we enjoy working out at a local Crossfit gym, taking Millie on walks, visiting family and binge-watching series on Netflix.
