In this episode of Mississippi Stories, Mississippi Today Editor-At-Large Marshall Ramsey sits down with Walt Grayson about his long career as a Mississippi storyteller. Grayson is a life-long Mississippian who was born and raised in Greenville. While in high school, he started his broadcasting career at a local radio station.
After moving to Jackson after graduation, he worked at various radio stations until moving to television in 1984. He was a weather anchor and feature reporter for WLBT for over three decades before heading back to WJTV-12 (where he actually began his TV career as a part-time weekend weatherman while still working full-time “across the driveway” at Jackson’s WSLI radio.)
