Spradley moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast as a live reporter and MMJ in Fall 2021.

Within months, she was promoted to weekday reporter and weekend morning anchor. About one year later, she was further promoted to weekday reporter and weekend evening anchor.

In addition to leading the station’s weekend shows, she was also the only anchor assigned to the field leading up to showtimes.

Spradley broke news of an 1830’s whaling-ship discovery off the coast line and also reported on the scientific examination of a highly-endangered, 34-foot whale that washed up along the shore.
