Margot Rowe

Margot Rowe is thrilled to join the KWCH 12 News morning team and start a new chapter in the Sunflower state. She recently wrapped up three years at Action News Now in Northern California as a reporter, anchor, and producer. Margot has extensive experience covering natural disasters, breaking news, state politics, city issues, and loves to occasionally cover a fun feature story.

In the summer of 2024 alone, Margot covered over 40 wildfires including being one of the first reporters on the scene of the Park Fire. Which ended up bringing California's 4th largest wildfire in modern history. In addition to wildfire coverage, she's had a fair share of covering flooding, earthquakes, and snowstorms. Yes...snow in California.

Margot started in journalism career in Southern California. After earning five associate degrees from Moorpark College, she went on to California State University Northridge where she earned two bachelor's degrees in Broadcast Journalism and Theater Arts. Before moving to Action News Now in Chico, she worked at KNX News Radio, #1 news radio station in Los Angeles as a News Production Assistant.

In her free time, Margot loves going to the movies, seeing a play at a local theater, and enjoys a mid-afternoon nap after bringing you the latest news on the KWCH morning show.
