She currently co-anchors alongside veteran journalist Mike Bush. With a confident and engaging on-screen presence, Allred has become a recognizable face in regional broadcast journalism.
Working beside Mike Bush, a highly decorated journalist with more than 50 regional Emmy Awards and over a dozen Edward R. Murrow Awards, has been a rewarding experience for Anne. Despite Bush's extensive accolades, Allred herself brings a strong journalistic presence to the desk, contributing to the anchor team's success.
In recognition of her contributions, Anne Allred received a Mid-America Emmy Award in the "Best News Anchor" category at the 39th annual ceremony, held on October 3, 2015, at the Marriott Grand Hotel in St. Louis.
Together, Anne Allred and Mike Bush have significantly contributed to KSDK's reputation as one of the most respected regional news outlets. Their professional rapport and dedication to journalistic excellence have enhanced the station’s credibility and viewer engagement across the Central and East Coast regions.
Anne Allred was born on January 19, 1982, in St. Louis County, Missouri. As of 2015, she was 33 years old. She pursued her passion for journalism early, contributing a weekly article alongside her brother for family readership during grade school. Her interest later evolved into formal training and roles in collegiate broadcasting.
While attending Ohio University, she helped establish BuckeyeTV, the student-run television station. She served as its first anchor and gained practical skills by operating without a teleprompter, helping to shape her into the confident and skilled journalist she is today.
Anne Allred began her professional career with internships and early roles at stations such as WHDH in Boston, ABC 6 in Providence, and WSYX/WTTE in Columbus. These diverse experiences provided her with a solid foundation in both reporting and anchoring across various markets before returning to her hometown to join KSDK.
Returning to St. Louis to work for KSDK was a significant turning point in Anne’s career. The move also paved the way for rekindling a personal connection that would become central to her personal life. Anne maintains a strong online presence, and her Twitter handle, @AnneAllredNBC, reflects her professional updates. As of 2015, she had over 10,000 followers.
Her Twitter bio reads: "I anchor the 5pm and 10pm newscasts at KSDK in my hometown of St. Louis, Mo."
Anne Allred is married to attorney Drew Lammert, a partner at McCarthy, Leonard & Kaemmerer, L.C., a law firm based in Missouri. The couple married on May 31, 2014, in a Southern-themed ceremony held at the Church of the Annunziata. The event honored Anne's Irish heritage with a traditional bagpiper at the conclusion of the service.
Though they first met in high school as part of a mutual friends group, Anne and Drew reconnected in 2010 at a charity event. Their relationship blossomed shortly thereafter, particularly after Anne returned to St. Louis. Drew’s thoughtful and romantic nature, including a candlelit 2013 Valentine's Day celebration, made a strong impression on Anne.
Drew proposed to Anne in a creative and heartfelt gesture. Instead of a traditional ring presentation, he gave her a long, narrow bracelet box containing a bracelet with a heart-shaped charm engraved with the words, "Will you marry me?" The unique proposal caught Anne by surprise and she happily accepted.
Known for her professionalism and charisma, Anne presents a polished television presence. At approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall, she carries a confident demeanor that resonates with viewers. Her approachable personality, along with a balanced and straightforward style of dressing, contributes to her credible public image as a broadcast journalist.
