Lauren Weppler joined the 59 news team in October 2010. She anchors the 10pm and 11pm nightly newscasts on Fox 59 and CBS.

Lauren has spent the last two years at the NBC affiliate WTAP news in Parkersburg, WV. There she reported through the week and on the weekends she anchored the weather.

Before her time in Parkersburg, Lauren interned at the PBS show To The Contrary in Washington, D.C. After her time in the nation's capital she knew what she wanted to pursue with her career, "I was revitalized and ready to make my mark with great storytelling."

Lauren was born and raised in the small town of Bethany West Virginia. She is a graduate from West Liberty University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. While a proud hilltopper Lauren anchored and produced newscasts for the college campus WLTV-14.

When Lauren isn't working you can find her cuddled up on a couch reading a good book or out hiking in some of the beautiful hills around the state.

"I'm so thrilled to be here in southern West Virginia and be serving my neighbors and friends of the mountain state!"
