Television news

Morgan began her career on television stints in Evansville, Indiana, Nashville, Tennessee and Champaign, Illinois before her arrival at Portsmouth, Virginia's WAVY-TV in January, 1981 as weeknight evening co-anchor. Morgan was first paired with co-anchor Bob Grip until 1984 when Terry Zahn replaced Bob Grip as weeknight co-anchor to Morgan. She has anchored the primetime evening newscasts on Channel 10 with newscaster Terry Zahn for 5 1/2 years and the duo was the most-watched 11 p.m. newscast team, according to the Arbitron ratings.[1]

Prior to a September 29, 1988 newscast, Morgan walked out of the station following a dispute about an edit on a report she had filed. Morgan left WAVY in December 1989 for WCIX in Miami, where she served as weekend news anchor, later becoming the weekday evening anchor until she left WCIX in 1994.[1]
