Melissa Knowles -- Host
Prior to hosting "Trending Now" on Yahoo! News, Melissa anchored "Big 12 This Week" on ESPNU, a weekly college sports show centered around the Big 12 Conference that broadcasts nationally. During the last five years, Melissa could also be seen on the sidelines reporting on many college football, basketball and lacrosse games on the ESPN family of networks. Melissa studied journalism at Southern Methodist University. In 2004, she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from SMU at the Meadows School of the Arts. Melissa almost followed in the footsteps of her parents and went to law school, but just months after graduation she got her big break in TV, anchoring for Channel One News, the educational network that airs in schools all across the country.
Melissa was born and raised in Houston, Texas. She has an appreciation for varied genres of news and entertainment including politics, sports and lifestyles. She's a die-hard sports fan, and would suit up for the Cowboys at free-safety if they'd let her.
