Julie Bragg was born on July 1 in Richmond, Virginia, United States and she was raised there.

She attended John Randolph Tucker High School in Henrico County, Virginia and graduated from James Madison University in 1994, where she studied Mass Communication.[2][3]

Career

Julie Bragg was only 15 when she first stepped foot into the television studios at WTVR-TV. She was lucky enough to be chosen to be one of Channel 6’s For Kids’ Sake Ambassadors.

They had a local children’s television show that aired on Saturday mornings, and that’s when she decided to venture into journalism while at a young age.

Later, Julie moved to Roanoke where she worked at the NBC affiliate, WSLS 10, for almost five years. There, she was an anchor, producer, and health reporter there.

Julie's first television news job was at a small community television station in Martinsville, Virginia where she worked as an anchor, reporter, and local talk show host. [4]

Since returning home to Richmond, she has spent about 10 years covering the news in Central Virginia from the anchor desk and as a reporter out in the field.

She now anchors CBS 6 News at 5 and 5:30 with Rob Desir, but she has also anchored the morning news and hosted “Virginia This Morning,” during her time at WTVR.[5]

Marital Life

Julie Bragg is married to her husband, Ben.

The couples are proud parents of a son, Luke, and two adopted dogs from local rescue groups, Capt. Jack and Roddy.

Now that she is a mom, she uses her influence as a news anchor to reach out to children.

Recently, she helped an 8-year-old girl named Marley who was teased at school because of her glasses.

“Now that I’m a mom, stories impact me differently,”

said Julie Bragg, who has a son in preschool.

“I can get emotional about some stories.

They can be happy or sad.

I’ve always cared and been impacted but now it’s been more challenging.”
