News Anchor
FOX 13 Seattle
Bill Wixey has enjoyed a 35-year broadcasting career as a TV news anchor and reporter, thanks in part to the world-class education he received and skills that he honed at Washington State University.
After graduating from Murrow in 1991, Bill launched his career in Great Falls, MT as sports director at KRTV. After stops in Arkansas (where he covered two Final Fours with the Arkansas Razorbacks), and Green Bay (where he covered a pair of Super Bowls with the Packers), Bill moved back home to Seattle in 1998, joining KIRO as a sports anchor/reporter. Bill moved on to FOX Sports in 2000, as a studio host. In 2003, Bill made the transition to news anchor/reporter at FOX 13 Seattle, where he has co-anchored “Good Day Seattle” for over 22 years.
Bill is a 3-time Emmy award winner as an anchor, reporter and producer.
The Wixey legacy at WSU extends to his son William, who followed in his dad’s footsteps and graduated from Murrow in 2021. Will now works in the same newsroom as his dad, as a digital producer at FOX 13 Seattle.
