Marianne Silber

Marianne Silber

Marianne Silber is an American television news reporter. She joined Fox News Channel in 2006 as a special correspondent with Fox News in the Atlanta, GA. bureau. She has reported on several national stories including the Duke lacrosse rape case, Hurricane Dean in Jamaica in 2007, and Hurrican Ike in September 2008.

Silber is a 1990 graduate of A.C. Jones High School in Beeville, Texas. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Bellarmine University, and then returned to Texas to be closer to her mother, Wilma Silber, who was diagnosed with colon cancer. After her mother’s death, Silber decided to remain in South Texas.

Inspired by her grandmother, the late Alamae McMahon, Silber begged her way into a job at CBS affiliate KZTV Channel 10 in Corpus Christi, Texas. Within six months, she was co-anchor of Channel 10 News. A teleprompter malfunction gave Silber the opportunity she needed to prove to network executives that she could handle a promotion to solo anchor. Silber anchored and produced Channel 10 news for several years before taking a job in Oklahoma City.

Silber spent three years there at ABC affiliate KOCO 5, covering area military installations during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. She also provided coverage of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the devastation of Oklahoma wildfires.
