Tyler Manion is the Lowcountry reporter for WTOC. He joined the team in June of 2021, shortly after graduating from Arizona State University.
Before finishing college Tyler covered events like the 2020 election, the women’s triathlon national championships, and everything in between. He was even awarded the Broadcast Education Association’s award for best collegiate television news anchor and placed second in the Hearst TV News Competition.
Although he grew up in the Philadelphia area, Tyler has been visiting Hilton Head Island every year since he was four months old and has loved the Lowcountry his whole life.
