Award-winning personality, Sharon K. McGhee, born in St. Louis, has found a new home and exciting challenges in Chicago as news director for WVON radio. Sharon hosted the top rated morning talk show, "Good Morning St. Louis," for five years. Sharon won the prestigious AIR Award on KATZ radio for a series on the death of Emmitt Till. A radio merger and new management decided to take the station in a different direction and cancelled the entire talk format. Sharon wanted to keep her career on the fast track and sought employment in a major radio market, and today she is proud to call the Windy City home.

By all accounts, talk radio is a format made for Sharon McGhee, a self-proclaimed news and information junkie equipped with a strong opinion. Sharon receives her daily information"fix" by surfing the web, reading five newspapers, and monitoring other news outlets all before many people wake up. During her short time in Chicago, Sharon has won the prestigious AIR Award for a five-part series on Breast Cancer. Sharon also launched the first WVON book club,"Between the Covers."

Sharon's professional affiliations include, the Association of Black Journalists (ABJ), the Chicago Chapter of the Urban League, and Sharon participates in the yearly Cook County Annual Youth Summit.

Sharon's greatest pleasure comes when she explores the world. "Any day I pack my bags and get my passport stamped is a good day!" Sharon has traveled to Africa six times; South America; Europe; and the Caribbean islands.
