She co-anchors WSMV4 Today and also anchors WSMV4 at Noon.\n\nShe produces and reports special reports and news segments throughout the year. Holly joined the WSMV4 news team in June 1997. She's literally tried every hat in the television business - producing, shooting, writing, editing, anchoring, reporting and even spending some time as a weathercaster at the CBS affiliate in the Tri-Cities (Johnson City, Bristol, Kingsport).\n\nHolly sharpened her reporting skills while in St. Louis and Washington, D.C. She graduated with Distinction of University Honors from Middle Tennessee State University, receiving her degree in Mass Communications. Holly received the university's Young Alumni Achievement Award and graduated from Georgetown University's Institute on Political Journalism.\n\nHolly is the spokeswoman for the Tennessee Breast Cancer Coalition. She has served as a \"Big Sister\" in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program and a board member of the American Heart Association. She has served consecutive terms on the Heart Gala Board and on the Honors Executive Committee for MTSU's Honors Program.\n\nHolly speaks to dozens of organizations throughout the year. She's also a motivational speaker for various business groups and Christian conferences.\n\nHolly has emceed hundreds of events over the years, including the American Heart Association's Heart Gala, Tennessee's Teacher Hall of Fame Induction and MTSU's President's Ball.\n\nShe is a member of Long Hollow Baptist Church, where she and her husband teach Sunday School, and she's a mentor in the Women's Ministry.\n\nHolly has also been a contributing writer for both ParentLife and BabyLife magazines.\n\n\nThe most recent addition to her hobby list is scrapbooking (love it!), but she also enjoys horseback riding, music, shopping, movies and, above all, family time. She loves to travel and said she's always looking for the next adventure.\n\nHolly is homegrown and grew up in East Tennessee. She and her husband live in Hendersonville with their two boys, who she calls the most incredible blessings in her life.\n\nWhy I love living in Nashville: The people! I grew up in Tennessee, and the folks here are some of the friendliest I've ever met. In my younger years, my family lived out in the country and nobody would drive by without waving, even if you didn't know them! That's the South, that's Nashville, and I love it!\n\nHobbies: OK, my hobbies USED to be shopping - which I absolutely love - going to the mov
120ies - love to catch the latest flick - working out at the gym, horseback riding, occasionally golfing and traveling. HOWEVER, my most fulfilling hobby supersedes the previous listing - that of loving and caring for my two boys. Oh, what a joy and a true blessing. My husband and I found a whole new level of love - the love a mother and father have for their children. Wow! I never dreamed it could be so powerful - and demanding!\n\nFavorite Movies: The Blind Side and Remember the Titans.\n\nFavorite TV Shows: Fixer Upper, Madam Secretary and Designated Survivor.\n\nMost Memorable Story: There are so many meaningful stories out there, but I would have to say the most incredible story involved the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, and I actually got to fly with them! Oh, how scary, but oh, how exciting! They even prepped me on what to do if we had to eject - not the words you want to hear before the flight. I even got to \"pilot\" the F-16 jet myself for a few seconds. They are true professionals who really know their job and do it with great precision and great enthusiasm, and I was impressed!\n\nFavorite Time of Year: No question here - definitely Christmas! The holiday season of giving, celebrating Christ's birth, the special family time with loved ones, the excitement, the Christmas trees, the twinkling lights, smell of cinnamon, the festive decorations and, of course, the occasional snow that gets everyone so excited!\n\nOne Thing Most Folks Don't Know About Me: Years ago, I played in a Christian Rock Band (the long hair and all)!","slug":"","native_app_rendering":false,"fuzzy_match":false,"contributor":false,"status":true,"custom_gray_stationname":"wsmv","custom_gray_stationdepartment":"news","last_updated_date":"2026-03-18T21:55:30.316Z","custom_gray_displaypriority":1,"website_url":"/authors/Holly-Thompson/","headlines":{"basic":"Holly Thompson"},"description":{"basic":"Holly Thompson is a nine-time Emmy Award and multiple Associated Press award-winning journalist who's ready to wake you up in the mornings!

He specializes in investigations into political corruption, criminal activity and waste of taxpayer money. He anchors WSMV4 at 5:00 at 6:00.\n\nJeremyâs investigations have resulted in multiple criminal charges and prison sentences, TBI and district attorney investigations, new state laws, the resignation of one of the highest paid elected officials in Nashville, a $1 million payout to the victims of a nationwide company scamming the sick and uninsured, and the discovery of missing girls.\n\nThe Nashville Scene wrote that Jeremy is âno stranger to blockbuster exposeâs.â He was the first to expose the âunintended accelerationâ in Toyota vehicles, which ultimately led to one of the largest recall of automobiles in the nationâs history and Congressional hearings in which his investigations were included.\n\nIt's his investigations into elected officials which prompted the Nashville Post to call him a watchdog for exposing corrupt politicians. After Jeremy exposed an elected official lounging in his bathrobe while claiming to be a meeting, the Nashville Scene called the story, âa devastatingly effective expose ... a piece that has already become part of Nashville's political folklore.â\n\nJeremyâs undercover work has repeatedly exp
120osed thieves and scam artists in action, resulting in guilty pleas. In one notable case, he and a WSMV4 photojournalist found runaway girls hiding in the home of a man accused of squatting in a foreclosed home. The girls were then located by police and the man pleaded guilty to harboring runaways.\n\nJeremy is a four-time recipient of the IRE award, one of the highest honors in investigative journalism. He received the honors from Investigative Reporters and Editors for his stories exposing mistakes made by government agencies during the historic flood that swamped downtown Nashville, for his contributions to the WSMV4 investigations that exposed the corruption in former Judge Casey Moreland's courts, for exposing imposter police officers in Middle Tennessee and for a series of reporting that sent a sexual predator to prison. Heâs also received three national Edward R. Murrow awards and two national Headliner awards.\n\nHeâs the recipient of twenty-nine Emmys, seven regional Edward R. Murrow awards, and multiple first place honors from the Associated Press, including being named the journalist of the year. The Tennessee Association of Broadcasters awarded him with the best public service reporting award in 2023 and the First Amendment award in 2026. \n\nJeremy is reminded daily whatâs important in life thanks to the women who run his life: his wife and their two daughters. Heâs a voracious reader, cheers on the St. Louis Cardinals, has an unhealthy obsession with Jeep Wranglers and is a terrible runner who barely survived a marathon and a few half marathons.\n\nWhile heâs most proud of his investigations, he admits his favorite assignment was covering the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, for WSMV4 and the other stations owned by the Meredith Corporation.\n\nJeremy is also an internationally published novelist. His debut novel, \"The Darkest Time of Night,\" was called one of the best books of the summer by People magazine and the New York Post. His next book, \"The Dark Above,\" received rave reviews from NPR and the Library Journal. He is busy at work on his next novel.\n\nJeremy is a graduate of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (Go Salukis!). He has a Master's degree in public affairs reporting from the University of Illinois at Springfield, and was named to their Hall of Fame in 2024.","slug":"","native_app_rendering":false,"fuzzy_match":false,"contributor":false,"status":true,"custom_gray_stationname":"wsmv","custom_gray_stationdepartment":"news","last_updated_date":"2026-08-18T21:33:04.199Z","custom_gray_displaypriority":2,"type":"author","website_url":"/authors/Jeremy-Finley/","headlines":{"basic":"Jeremy Finley"},"description":{"basic":"Jeremy Finley is the evening anchor and chief investigative reporter for WSMV4 Investigates.

Murrow Award for âBest Newscastâ for extreme winter weather coverage.\n\nLauren started her career anchoring and reporting in her hometown of Myrtle Beach, SC, where she twice spent more than 13 hours reporting live on the beach as a hurricane came ashore. Her work on the anchor desk earned her the distinction of being named one of the âTop 5 Most Successful People Under 30â by Coastal Business Life Magazine.\n\nIn 2022, Lauren launched the AMPstigator video podcast, ranked in the Top 10% most shared globally by Spotify. Because of her success the Nashville Business Journal named Lauren to the list of Top 40 Under 40 in 2023, noting her excellence in her work and the community. That same year, the American Heart Association of Tennessee named her a Woman of Impact, marking her dedication to fighting heart disease among women after experiencing her own life-threatening heart event in 2018. \n\nLowrey graduated with honors from Florida State University with a degree in Communication and a minor in Theater. She is also an accomplished singer and has sung the National Anthem at Indiana Pacers regular season and playoff games eight times.\n\nOutside of the newscasts, you can catch Lauren playing at parks with her three young children, hiking trails around Middle Tennessee, or eating at one of Nashvilleâs great restaurants â always makeup-free.","slug":"","native_app_rendering":false,"fuzzy_match":false,"contributor":false,"status":true,"custom_gray_stationname":"wsmv","custom_gray_stationdepartment":"news","last_updated_date":"2026-04-21T20:42:17.557Z","custom_gray_displaypriority":5,"website_url":"/authors/Lauren-Lowrey/","headlines":{"basic":"Lauren Lowrey"},"description":{"basic":"Lauren Lowrey is an Emmy Award-winning Anchor/Reporter who joined WSMV4 in December 2018.

Murrow, and Associated Press award winning journalist with nearly two decades of experience reporting and anchoring across the state of Tennessee, both in Nashville and Knoxville.\n\nAmanda has been honored with 12 Emmy Awards, two National Murrow Awards, 13 regional Edward R. Murrow Awards, and more than 18 Associated Press awards.\nShe was twice named 'Best Reporter' and 'Best Anchor' by the Tennessee Associated Press, and twice named 'Best Anchor' by the Tennessee Association of Broadcasters.\n\nIn 2026, Amanda assumed a new role with Gray Television as Streaming Anchor and Regional Digital Director for WSMV, WVLT, WFIE, and WBKO.\n\nIn 2022, she joined WSMV as co-anchor of WSMV's morning show. She also served as the station's Digital Director, overseeing WSMV's many digital platforms.\n\n\nBefore returning to Nashville, Amanda spent ten years as the Evening Anchor and Executive Producer of Digital Content at WVLT in Knoxville.\n\nShe might be from Snoqualmie, Washington, but Tennessee truly is home. Her family moved to Middle Tennessee when she was studying at Washington State University. After graduation, Amanda followed her family south, began an internship at WSMV, and saw her brother off to college at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.\n\nAmanda landed her first job in Evansville, Indiana where she covered a series of stories that prompted change at a local animal shelter, and filed reports for both CNN and the Weather Channel after a devastating tornado killed 25 people.\n\nAs a longtime equestrian, it was only fitting that Lexington, Kentucky was the next stop for Amanda. She grew up showing Hunter/Jumpers, helped her mother breed, deliver and train three foals on their small horse farm, played on the Washington State University Polo Team, and then started competing in Eventing. While at WLEX in Lexington, Amanda was awarded an Emmy for a report on the historic Keeneland racetrack. She even worked at a thoroughbred farm in the mornings, helping break horses for the track. Lexington is also where Amanda picked up her first thoroughbred named Unafraid.\n\nAmanda's career came full-circle when she moved back to Tennessee to work at WTVF in Nashville where she covered a variety of stories including a Nashville firefighter who was sickened by hazardous materials while on the job, a homeless mother attending college, a therapy dog working in Vanderbilt's pediatric cancer wing, and a massive horse rescue.\n\nAmanda's very first job as a journalist came at the age of 8, when her parents allowed her to start a small neighborhood newspaper selling 25-cent copies. After reporting on missing pet hamsters and garbage pickup day, she realized there was much more to journalism and that television news was the path to follow. She says no other medium combines pictures and words to create such powerful messages.\n\nAmanda served as a Big Sister with Big Brothers Big Sister of East Tennessee, a board member for Horse Haven of Tennessee, and an advisory board member for American Cancer Society. She currently sits on the board for the Community Coalition Against Human Trafficking and Shangri-La Therapeutic Academy of Riding.\n\nWhen she's not at the station, she's spending time with her husband and their sons HÃ¥kon and Hasle. All four are most likely getting herded around by their two Welsh Corgis \"Sparkle\" and \"Floki.\" Amanda is always looking for new ways to give back to Tennessee and share the stories that matter most to viewers.\n","slug":"","linkedin":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-hara-6b893114/","instagram":"@ahara","youtube":"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCedfj-4NCsQF6NdMuIS6DlQ?view_as=subscriber","native_app_rendering":false,"fuzzy_match":false,"contributor":false,"status":true,"custom_gray_stationname":"wsmv","last_updated_date":"2026-04-20T17:45:52.505Z","custom_gray_displaypriority":8,"type":"author","custom_gray_stationdepartment":"news","website_url":"/authors/Amanda%20Hara/","headlines":{"basic":"Amanda Hara"},"description":{"basic":"Amanda Hara is a Streaming Anchor and Regional Digital Director for WSMV, WVLT, WFIE and WBKO.

As a small child, in his hometown of North Andover, MA, he loved to stare out the window, watching New England's powerful ocean storms. To this day, he still has a cassette recording from when he was 6 years old, on which he said, \"It's rainy, snowy, windy ... That's all the news for now. This is Danny Thomas.\"\nNeedless to say, he's living out his dream.\nDan's passion for weather led him to The Pennsylvania State University, where he earned bachelor's and master's degrees in meteorology. While at Penn State, he worked as a part-time, on-air meteorologist for WPSX-TV. He also joined the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps and was commissioned as a lieutenant upon graduation.\nAfter graduate school, Dan began his military career at Moody Air Force Base in Valdosta, GA. He deployed to the Middle East, where he briefed pilots on weather conditions for their training missions over Iraq's no-fly zone. He completed his active duty military service in the fall of 2000 as a captain, leading a 15-person organization in weather operations at Vance Air Force Base in Enid, OK.\nAfter his time in the military, Dan began his full-time career in television as the morning meteorologist for KHBS/KHOG-TV in Fort Smith/Fayetteville, AR. For the following two years, he chased and tracked severe thunderstorms all across western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma.\nFrom tornado alley, Dan moved to \"hurricane central\" - New Orleans - in early 2003 to work as a broadcast meteorologist for WDSU-TV, the NBC affiliate. While there, he covered more than a half dozen hurricanes and tropical storms that hit the southeastern
120United States. His coverage of Hurricane Frances in 2004 earned him \"First Place for Breaking Weather\" from the Louisiana Associated Press.\nMost notable was Dan's coverage leading up to and during Hurricane Katrina. Dan warned viewers of the impending devastation during the final hours of preparation and the first hours of impact. He rode out the storm on the 11th floor of the Hilton Hotel in New Orleans. Dan recalls the room began creaking eight hours before landfall. The hotel beds began shaking two hours before landfall, due to the increasing wind. It was at that point that Dan and several coworkers evacuated to the hotel lobby for safety. The following day, as flood waters rose and crime escalated, Dan and his remaining coworkers evacuated to a sister station in Orlando, FL, where they remained for the following two months.\nDan moved to Nashville and joined the WSMV team in August 2006. In May 2009, Dan was certified by the American Meteorological Society as a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist, which involves passing very rigorous testing and standards. He joins First Alert Meteorologist Lisa Spencer as a recipient of this certification. WSMV is the only television station in Nashville with two CBMs.\nDan's thrilled to call this area home with its gorgeous terrain, ever-changing weather, and very kind people. When not in the office, Dan loves spending time with his wife and two children. He says coaching his sonâs baseball and basketball teams and watching his daughterâs horseback riding lessons and basketball games are among his favorite things to do. He doesnât take a moment of quality time spent with his family for granted. During his \"me-time\", he likes to go running, lift weights, play tennis, golf, and even tend to his many flowers and palm trees (that's rightâ¦palm trees, even in Middle Tennessee)!\n","slug":"","native_app_rendering":false,"fuzzy_match":false,"contributor":false,"status":true,"custom_gray_stationname":"wsmv","custom_gray_stationdepartment":"weather","last_updated_date":"2026-03-18T21:54:39.976Z","author_type":"Meteorologist ","custom_gray_displaypriority":2,"website_url":"/authors/Dan-Thomas/","headlines":{"basic":"Dan Thomas"},"description":{"basic":"Dan Thomas has been a weather fanatic for as long as he can remember.
