About Shannon Powell Hart
Shannon Powell Hart was recruited by Good Morning Texas after working on WFAA's digital team and starting the show's "Tech Tuesday" segments. As an award-winning journalist, Shannon is excited to call Dallas and WFAA home.

Shannon's career spans more than 20 years with stops across the East Coast and West South Central. She has interviewed people with many different interesting stories including movie stars, activist and three U.S. Presidents.

WFAA-TV became Shannon's TV home in 2011 when she was brought in to serve behind the scenes on the station's digital team. There she helped reporters transition their broadcast skills to the web and into social media. Soon her on-air talents were put back into action when she joined the station's morning entertainment show "Good Morning Texas."
