Who is Raegan Medgie?
For 20 years I poured my soul into being a TV News Reporter/Anchor and eventually a Meteorologist. It's my first love and I believed I would retire doing it.
But after years of saying yes and making sacrifices that come with the job...I wasn't elevating.
This became obvious after I ran my first marathon, the New York City Marathon, in 2024. After crossing the finish line at 4:19:35, I realized what I am capable of achieving when I put in all my effort. I got a medal.
I then compared the marathon to my news journey. More time. More effort. Different results. I was getting pushed aside and passed over.
"If you can build someone else's dream on a deadline...imagine what you could build on your own terms."
My gut went from a whisper to a scream. It was time to go and grow. I had to walk away and bet on myself. I didn't fit in news anymore and needed to lead a movement: starting with my podcast, Unscripted Turbulence.
A platform I created to help anyone facing turbulence by providing real stories from people who've lived it, so that they can feel less alone and find the courage to keep moving forward.
Because I know what courage is...I used it to walk away and build something on my own.

The Journalist
Twenty years. Seven newsrooms. Three Emmys.
Reporter, anchor, and meteorologist - from a local cable station in Allentown to the #1 station in New York City.
I started my TV journey in Allentown, PA - at Service Electric TV2 News, a local cable station covering the Lehigh Valley and a slice of the Poconos. Reporter. Anchor. Editor.
Read the whole journey
From there, I went to WETM 18 News, in Elmira, NY. This is where I learned the only thing that ever mattered: how to tell the truth and make a stranger feel it. Started as reporter, ended as main anchor.
WNEP Newswatch 16 in Scranton, PA was next as the Poconos Bureau Reporter. Offered to become anchor, turned it down. I felt the stronger reporter you are, the greater anchor you'll be.
Catapulted to The Weather Channel as the Northeast Correspondent, based in New York City. When needed, I'd head to Atlanta, GA to anchor the shows.
A quick stop at CBS2 New York, where I reported, covered traffic, weather, and dabbled in some radio at WCBS-FM.
Landed at FOX5 New York. Reported, anchored and went back to school - earning my Meteorology stripes at Penn State University's Online World Campus Program. Joined the FOX5 Weather Team.
Which lead me to my final destination: WABC, Channel 7 Eyewitness News. The #1 station in New York City, and by default, the country. Hired as meteorologist and reporter. I felt like I was finally home. I was going to retire here.

News moments
Twenty years on air... rain, snow, or shine.
The Podcaster
The high-stakes moments that changed everything - uncovered with a journalist's instincts.
The phone call. The diagnosis. Hitting rock bottom. Loss. The day you walked away. The day everything you planned... stopped.
Nobody hands you a script for that part. And when you're in it, it can feel like you're the only one. You're not.
Every week on Unscripted Turbulence, someone who's lived through it sits down with me and tells the real story - what happened, what got them through, and how they kept moving forward.
New episodes drop every Wednesday on YouTube and everywhere you listen.

The Content Creator
#MartiniswMedgie... and everything in between.
Once a month, I shake a martini and go live on Instagram and Facebook. The rest of the time, it's the real stuff - morning coffee sips, mental declutter runs, sunrises, adventures, and the occasional captain's hat when I'm feeling "Yachty"... 40K+ people follow along across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
Media Training
Look and sound like yourself... even when the red light is on.
Twenty years of live TV taught me what happens when the camera rolls and the plan falls apart. Now I help people get ready for it.
- Interviews, podcasts, and panels
- Finding your message - and saying it in 20 seconds
- On-camera presence that still feels like you
- Handling the tough question without flinching
The rest of me
Off camera.
I used to be "the girl from the news." Turns out there was a whole lot more in there... and I'm done keeping any of it off camera.
The Roots
Temple Made.
Bethlehem, PA raised. Temple University taught me broadcast journalism and gave me Philly forever. New York City is home.
The Sunrise Chaser
Up before the sun... on purpose now.
Years of 1:30 a.m. news alarms, and I still love watching the sky light up. These days it's on my terms.
The Runner
26.2 through all five boroughs.
The 2024 New York City Marathon, my first. Running clears my head so I can actually hear my gut. That's where most of my big decisions start.
The Advocate
Kind to every creature.
I'm an animal rights advocate and I use cruelty-free products. Animal welfare organizations... I would love to work with you.
The Adventurer
We adventure, not vacation.
Slot canyons, wake surfing, tiny cabins, and a pilot husband who usually knows the way.
Coffee & a Journal
Morning sips. Morning pages.
Coffee first, always. Then I journal it out. Half my best ideas showed up on paper before they showed up anywhere else.
