Michelle Carroll

I’m the Executive Producer of the morning shows at WCHS-TV/FOX 11, where I’ve had the privilege of growing my career since the summer of 2007.

I started at the station as a summer intern and was hired just a few months later as the evening video editor for our nightly newscasts.

After a few years behind the scenes, I leaped into producing, starting with the 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts. Soon after, I transitioned to mornings, where I produced the 5 a.m. show for several years.

In 2014, I helped launch our 5 p.m. newscast—a milestone moment in my career. A few years later, I returned to mornings as the Executive Producer, a role I’ve proudly held ever since.

Over the years, I’ve helped lead coverage of major stories that deeply impacted our region, including the Upper Big Branch Mine disaster, the West Virginia Water Crisis, and the statewide teachers' strike that drew national attention. I’ve also been honored to receive the award for Best AM Newscast three times—in 2011, 2021, and 2024—recognition that reflects the hard work and dedication of my entire team.

I also serve as Executive Producer for our Friday Night Rivals high school football broadcasts. This show allows us to spotlight students not only for their athletic achievements, but for their efforts in the classroom and in the community.

I’m a proud Red Dragon from St. Albans, and I’ve also spent time living in Morgantown and Raleigh, North Carolina.

Outside of the newsroom, I love spending time with my family and friends, and I’m always planning my next getaway—usually to Las Vegas or somewhere along the beach. I’m a huge Carolina Hurricanes hockey fan and a die-hard WVU Mountaineer through and through!
