Robin Meade

Robin Meade is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, author, and media personality renowned for her long tenure as the host of “Morning Express with Robin Meade” on HLN, where she anchored coverage of major global events including the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the 2009 inauguration of President Barack Obama, and Michael Jackson’s memorial. Over her career, she has conducted impactful interviews, including the first with freed American hostages in 2008 after their release from FARC captors, and even shared daring experiences such as skydiving with former President George H.W. Bush.

In addition to anchoring, Meade co-hosted “AccentHealth” alongside Dr. Sanjay Gupta, focusing on consumer health issues, and previously worked at NBC Chicago affiliate WMAQ-TV, where she co-anchored weekend newscasts and served as a general assignment reporter. Her contributions to journalism earned her induction into the Ohio Broadcasters Hall of Fame, a regional Emmy Award, and in 2023, the Atlanta Press Club Hall of Fame, as well as the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame in 2025.

Meade is also a bestselling author; her book “Morning Sunshine! How to Radiate Confidence and Feel It Too” explores managing anxiety and building self-confidence, reflecting her commitment to empowering audiences, particularly women. She extended this mission through HLN’s “Breakthrough Women” series, offering guidance and inspiration to female professionals.

Following the conclusion of "Morning Express" in December 2022, Meade stepped away from daily television hosting. As of 2026, she remains active through public speaking engagements, community appearances, and media commentary. Rumors of a potential HLN live news relaunch have circulated, with speculation about her possible involvement, but no official announcements have been made. Meade’s enduring influence in broadcast journalism and public engagement continues to resonate, marking her as a leading voice in American media.
