Into the Fire - Sharon Phillips

This Friday, October 24, 2025 at 7:00 pm, Episode #69, a pre-record episode with Sharon Phillips, who is an investigative reporter with Channel 2 News in Tulsa. Born and raised in the heart of Tulsa, Sharon Phillips isn't just reporting the news—she's living it.

As a multi-Emmy nominated journalist with over 15 years of broadcast excellence, she's become the trusted voice that Tulsa turns to for the stories that matter most.

From the anchor desk at KJRH's weekend evening newscasts to the streets pursuing her acclaimed investigative series Oklahoma's Cold Case Files, Sharon brings an unmatched combination of journalistic rigor and genuine compassion to every story she tells. Her Oklahoma State University broadcast journalism training laid the foundation, but it's her natural gift for connecting with people that sets her apart.

A Master of Human Connection

Sharon possesses that rare ability to make people feel safe enough to share their deepest truths. Whether she's investigating cold cases that have haunted families for years or covering breaking news, she approaches every interview with the empathy of a mother and the instincts of a seasoned investigator. Her philosophy is simple but profound: always leave people better than you found them.

Recognition That Speaks Volumes

Her trophy case tells the story: Emmy nominations, Society of Professional Journalists awards, Great Plains Journalism Awards, and Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters honors. But the real measure of Sharon's impact isn't in the awards—it's in the lives changed, the cold cases reopened, and the community conversations sparked by her fearless reporting.

Community Champion

When the cameras stop rolling, Sharon's commitment to Tulsa continues. She's lent her voice and time to Emergency Infant Services, The Ronald McDonald House, Joy in the Cause, the Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, The American Red Cross, and Meals on Wheels—because great journalism extends beyond the newsroom.

Life Beyond the Lens

At home, Sharon treasures her greatest role: mom to daughters Aerilyn and Eden, and wife to husband Bobby. Their rescued Golden Retriever Sophie and French Bulldog Cupcake complete a family that values adventure, whether they're cruising to exotic destinations or discovering a new local restaurant. Sharon's perfect evening might include a warm bath, the latest People magazine, and a Dateline marathon—the perfect blend of relaxation and her passion for true crime storytelling.
