Alison Posey's journalism career began in fifth grade, when she anchored the morning news show "Good Morning Littlewood." She went on to anchor her middle schools news program, and grew up idolizing Barbara Walters, never missing a 20/20 on Friday night.
She grew up an athlete, playing basketball and softball in high school, and earned a softball scholarship to St. Johns River Community College out of high school. There, she suited up at second base for two years, earning her AA and Academic All-American status. Alison then continued her education at the University of Florida, where she played for UF's Club Softball team. Alison won a NCSA World Series title with the team in 2010.
It was at St. Johns River Community College where Alison decided to focus on sports broadcasting as a career. She played sports, she watched sports, why not get paid to talk about sports for a living? Her career began in Gainesville, where she started as an intern at WCJB. That internship quickly became a job, and for two and a half years, she learned the ins and outs of the business.
Alison's first on-air job took her to WMBB in Panama City, Florida, where she served as Weekend Sports Anchor/Sports Reporter for four and a half years. She made history in 2015, when she was hired to serve as sports director at WTXL in Tallahassee, becoming the first female sports director for an over the air news station in the state of Florida. Alison is currently a sports reporter and anchor at WCTV.
Covering sports for Alison isn't just a job: it's a passion. As a former collegiate athlete, Alison understands what it takes to be an athlete, and that drive and dedication reflects on the way she does her job. From covering collegiate National Champions, to High School State Champions, to the littlest of athletes winning baseball World Series, Alison demonstrates the same attention to any athlete- big or small.
She was named the 2018 Florida Association of Broadcast Journalists Sportscaster of the Year for small market stations in the state of Florida. In 2023, Alison won the FABJ award for Continuing Coverage of the compliance issues within the Florida A&M football team, a national story she broke in the fall of 2022.
