Micah Johnson

Micah JohnsonWhile helming news divisions, Micah has taught thousands of people how to get their message across and become effective and compelling interviews.  As the leader of Entegy, Micah brings that experience directly to clients who are preparing to face the glaring lights of television, the microphones of radio, or the sharpened pencils of print and broadband.

Long before founding Entegy, Micah started his career in front of the camera.  Working first in local television markets, he was noticed by executives at CNN.  He became the youngest male anchor at CNN Headline News.  He anchored CNN Radio and was a correspondent for CNN.  While at CNN, Micah was the voice for much of the network, including LARRY KING LIVE.  He was then approached by NBC, and moved to Washington, DC where he was an anchor/correspondent.  While at NBC, Micah covered some of the world's major stories.  His anchoring on the NBC Radio Network of the fall of the Berlin Wall won a Gold Medal at the Radio/TV Festival of New York.

Micah changed course and moved into politics during the Bush Administration.  He became Senior Producer of Radio and Television in the United States Senate Republican Conference, working for the office of Vice President Dan Quayle.  While on Capitol Hill, he was sought after by some of the nation's most influential power brokers for media advice and counsel.

Television management was the next step.  He became news director in markets like El Paso, Steubenville/Wheeling, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Hartford, and Pittsburgh. His reputation became that of a turn-around maverick; taking on third rated news operations and moving them into first place or serious contention.  He became known for rebranding the stations' image, improving the content, feel, and talent of the programs.

Meredith Broadcasting Group recruited Micah to become Vice President of News Operations.  In that role, Micah created and oversaw the broadcast division's Washington DC bureau and had oversight responsibilities at the group's 14 television stations.  He was personally responsible for the day-to-day news operation of flagship station WGCL-TV CBS 46 in Atlanta and WHNS-TV FOX Carolina in South Carolina.  Thousands of reporter, anchor, weather, sports and producer tapes crossed his desk.

Micah recruited television personality Robin Leach to Meredith and with him, produced many specialty shows from The Billboard Music Awards, Country Music Awards, Grammy's, and others.  Micah's relationship with Robin continues to this day, working on new network show possibilities and opportunities.

Having spent many years in front of the camera, he understands the demands and obstacles facing talent and how to perform and become compelling and engaging to the viewer.  He also knows how to generate the all important sound bite.

Micah has recruited and guided some of the top anchors in impressive markets; orchestrating career moves for an anchor in Monroe, Louisiana to become an anchor Orlando Florida, or a student fresh out of college to primary anchor in Yuma, Arizona and then straight to San Diego. He's discovered raw personalities like a shark tour operator on the North Shore of Hawaii to a deal for him to appear on Discovery Channel's Shark Week or a former FBI counter intelligence agent to become a national terrorism expert.  He hired an intern that later became a top talent on E!  Micah has also found and placed personalities and programs on National Geographic, NBC's The Apprentice, E!, Animal Planet and many more.

During the course of his career, Micah has won and/or been nominated for numerous EMMY Awards.  He's recently served on the Board of Governors for the National Academy Of Television Arts and Sciences and as a judge for the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for the Prime Time Emmys.  He's listed in Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World.

Micah lives in Scottsdale, Arizona and Honolulu, Hawaii.  You can contact Micah at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
