Angel Ford
Morning Edition Anchor/News ReporterAngel Ford stepped into the Morning Edition host and news reporter role at KWGS in April 2026 having obtained both a master’s and bachelor’s degree from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah.
Before joining the team, Ford worked as a freelance reporter and layout designer for several local newspapers/magazines across Oklahoma: The Muskogee Phoenix, The Tahlequah Daily Press and The Fairfax Chief.
While at college, Ford served as the editor of The Northeastern, the student media outlet at NSU. Her responsibilities included overseeing content creation, editing, and publishing articles, videos, and podcasts. The video and podcasting now utilized by TNE is thanks to Ford’s attention and wish to see the longstanding media source for the college evolve. She is now working to implement video content into the KWGS social media and much more.
In her off time, Ford is on a never-ending quest for adventure and whimsy. Never one to sit still for long, she enjoys trekking across the country to attend various music festivals such as Lollapalooza in Chicago or The Governor’s Ball in New York. If possible, as Ford travels, she works to find a city’s most rumored haunted hotel to book a stay. While she has had no experiences with the “other side” during her travels, Ford continues to “toe the line.”
Ford is a true believer in the profession of journalism. To her, a newsroom is not just a workplace, but a safe place for the voiceless to finally be heard and where power is held to account. As a journalist, Ford aims to bring power to the public through the power of information and transparency. Email her at anf1077@utulsa.edu.
