Gina Cheatham Television host, entertainment news correspondent, actress and lifestyle expert and are just a few of Gina Cheatham’s credits.

However, it is Gina’s undeniable gift of gab and talent for connecting with people that originally launched her television career as a producer and host of “Only in St. Louis” on Double Helix Television which led to her first full-time position as a reporter and broadcaster for Metro Networks/I-Heart Media working in both the St. Louis and London, UK markets.
