John Beard occasionally anchors news during ABC 32's 10 PM weeknight newscast and in the morning during Good Morning America.  John grew up along the Gulf of Mexico, and worked in Tennessee and Mississippi before anchoring now for ABC 32.  John was previously in Columbus, MS. He spent two years anchoring WCBI's evening news, after a stint as weekend sports anchor.  Sports is no longer his profession, but it's still a passion. He follows the Braves in baseball season, the Saints (or Aints) in football season and his beloved LSU Tigers in all seasons. And he plays everything: tennis, softball, basketball, whatever.  John has a wonderful wife, Amy, and a beautiful little girl, Alex. If you see them around town, stop and say hello.
