Justin Lewis joined the WTVA News team in June of 2010.  The lifetime Arkansan is a graduate from the University of Arkansas and is excited to be in the neighboring Magnolia State.  Justin has always had a love for reporting and enjoys how reporting allows him to work within the community and meet people.

During his undergraduate years at the University of Arkansas, he served as the Sports Director and staff reporter for the campus television station, UATV.  In 2008, he worked as a production intern at the Golf Channel in Orlando, allowing him get a good footing on what it takes to put together a great television cast.  In 2009, he joined the ABC affiliate in northwest Arkansas, KHOG, as an intern.  However, it didn't take him long before he began working as a sports reporter.

His features were highlighted by John Daly's return to the PGA Tour and an "on the farm" story about the family that cares for the live Razorback mascot, Tusk.  He was later awarded a Mark of Excellence in Television Sports Reporting by the Society of Professional Journalists for the feature.

Following his summer internship, he stayed on with KHOG to do live reporting for the Friday Football Frenzy, a local high school football show.

Justin is an avid sports fan, if you can't already tell, and when not trekking around northern Mississippi, he enjoys playing golf, reading, and watching crime investigation shows.  He lists his favorite teams as the St. Louis Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys, and Los Angeles Lakers.  If you see him in your area, don't forget to say "hello".
