Peyton LoCicero Trist TV HOST

Award winning newscaster Peyton LoCicero Trist is the Owner/Editor of The Scout Guide 30A-Destin. She also co-hosts WGNO's News With A Twist Weekend Show. Ms.

Award winning news anchor and journalist Peyton LoCicero-Trist, is part of the popular GOOD MORNING NEW ORLEANS morning show team on ABC TV's WGNO, a Nexstar broadcasting station. New Orleanians wake up, each weekday, to Peyton's sunny disposition and rely on her for their news headlines. With her finger firmly planted on the heartbeat of Crescent City happenings, combined with her infectious love

of everything and anything New Orleans, Peyton quickly became a fan favorite among viewers. Peyton was born in Louisiana and is a fifth generation New Orleanian. Previously, she was the bureau chief and reporter for ABC affiliate, WMBB News 13 in the Destin-Panama City, Florida area. Her career in journalism began at The University of Mississippi, serving as a feature reporter for News Watch 99 and as an event reporter for WTVA, in Tupelo, Mississippi. She also served as a personal assistant to legendary Chef Emeril Lagasse and his wife, Alden. Peyton is also the co-founder of Frill Seekers Gifts, a national gift brand and boutique. Peyton received the prestigious 2019 Dick Fletcher Excellence in Media Award for her Hurricane Michael coverage before, during and after the storm devastated the majority of WMBB’s viewing area. She was recognized for her ability to “rally” and motivate the surrounding communities, after the storm, to help provide critical help and resources to those hit hardest by the hurricane. In presenting this award to her, at the National Governor’s Hurricane Conference, Ms. LoCicero was recognized for her “outstanding efforts to educate and inform the public about hurricanes and hurricane preparedness, response, recovery in the state of Florida. LoCicero demonstrated exceptional skills as a broadcast journalist, by communicating information during a catastrophic national weather event, by making it understandable to the layperson, with an on air persona that exudes confidence and creates an atmosphere of trust with all of her audience, while providing life-saving information.”

"Meteorologists, newscasters and news organizations from across the state of Florida, were nominated for this honor, making the entire WMBB news team proud that our own reporter, Peyton LoCicero, was chosen as the 2019 Dick Fletcher Excellence in Media award winner. Peyton single-handedly represented WMBB during Hurricane Michael, when we physically couldn’t,” said Tom Lewis, WMBB News Director. She was also nominated for the Florida Public Relations Association’s Social Impact Image Award, Emerald Coast. When she is not in the newsroom, you will likely find Peyton shopping on Magazine Street, boating and trying to stand up on water skis, cheering on the SAINTS, LSU Tigers or Ole Miss Rebels, or volunteering for one of the causes closest to her heart. She serves as a volunteer for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of New Orleans, Shuck Cancer events, the Tickled Pink Party, which she co-founded, benefitting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, helps the Save UnderDogs Rescue Group and supports the Lupus Foundation. She is president of the Ole Miss Alumni Association, Emerald Coast chapter, a member of the Miss Destin Organization, a member of the Florida Public Relations Association, Emerald Coast chapter, the Destin Fishing Rodeo and is a Kappa Delta alum. An avid puppy enthusiast, Ms. LoCicero, rescued a mini Schnauzer/Yorkie mix after Hurricane Michael and named him Mikey Mike. Together, they made their runway debut appearance at Mutts to Models Charity Event, benefitting Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center. Have a news tip or story that needs to be told?

Reflecting on being a mother, I can honestly say, this is my purpose. Each day is like Christmas morning, when I was a child, in that I can’t wait to wake up and walk into the nursery to see Miss Blake’s smile and excitement when she sees me peek over the crib. Counting my blessings a little extra today!

We all struggle. Even those who radiate light, love, and joy, like tWitch…struggle. Even those who dance in the spotlight… struggle when the darkness creeps in.

Thank you Stephen tWitch Boss for believing in and investing in the talent of a little high school dance team from Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. You and our coaches inspired us to dream big and shoot for the STARS. Your incredible choreography launched us to the State Championship and brought us all the way to the top at Nationals. Our success was only possible because of your passion to share the love of dance with us. For that, I will always be grateful. You WILL be missed. ♥️

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is just a phone call away. Please reach out—-Text or call 988.
