FOX 5 DC is launching a new weekday lifestyle program hosted by longtime anchor Marissa Mitchell.
“The Marissa Mitchell Show” will debut on Monday, February 2, airing weekdays at 11 a.m. on FOX 5 DC, with episodes also available to stream on FOX Local. The hour-long show is designed to inform, inspire, and entertain viewers across the DMV through a wide range of lifestyle focused conversations.
The program will cover topics including relationships, finances, parenting, wellness, fitness, food, fashion, and pop culture, while also featuring candid discussions with newsmakers and community leaders about real issues impacting local communities.

The show will also incorporate Mitchell’s popular “Motivation with Marissa” franchise, spotlighting individuals who have overcome significant challenges, along with showcasing her community involvement and appearances throughout the region. Executive Producer Jeff Gygax will oversee editorial content.
Mitchell joined FOX 5 DC in 2020 and has served as an anchor and reporter on “Good Day DC” and “LION Lunch Hour.” She is a multiple regional Emmy Award winner and previously worked at FOX-owned station WAGA in Atlanta, as well as WBMA-TV in Birmingham, Alabama, and WTVC-TV in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
