Lisa McRee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lisa McRee (born November 9, 1961 in Fort Worth, Texas) is an American television journalist and former news anchor.
She was a news anchor for WFAA-TV in Dallas, Texas from 1989 to 1991 before becoming one of the original anchors, along with Aaron Brown, of ABC News' World News Now when the show launched in 1992. McRee left the show in 1993 to serve as a host for Good Morning America Sunday. She then moved to Los Angeles, California in 1994 to work as an anchor for KABC-TV.
In 1997, she was hired to replace Joan Lunden as co-host of Good Morning America. She then was paired with Kevin Newman after Charles Gibson left the show in 1998. However, Good Morning America, which had been struggling in the ratings, continued to perform poorly, and both she and Newman were replaced in 1999.
Since 2004, McRee has been a host and correspondent for California Connected, a TV news magazine that currently airs on 12 PBS stations in California.
