Anchors
Marianne McClary
E-mail MarianneRead The Good Day BlogMarianne McClary is the co-host of "Good Day Sacramento", the valley's top-rated morning news and information program, which has been on the air since 1995.
She got her start in television news as an intern at Fox station KCPQ-TV in Tacoma, Washington. The college internship turned into her first television job, and included everything from being the "voice" of station promotions, to fill-in anchoring on the evening news.
From there, she moved to KNDU-TV in Eastern Washington -- a funeral home converted to a television station -- for her first full-time anchoring job; then on to the bright lights of Las Vegas as an anchor before landing in Phoenix for a four-year stint as weekend anchor on NBC affiliate KPNX-TV.
In July of 1995, all that changed when she flew to Sacramento for a job interview at Channel 31. Her motivation was to get out of the Phoenix heat for a day, but after hearing the plan for "Good Day Sacramento," she signed on.
Marianne grew up in Seattle and is the oldest of three kids, all girls. In her free time (what little of it there is) she likes playing golf, and tries to get to Mexico at least once a year. Being a bridesmaid eight times, finally paid off! Marianne was married in April 2007. She and her husband Scott live in Carmichael.
