CW33 KDAF DFW launching Morning After with Ron Corning and Jenny Anchondo



Earlier in May I asked if CW33 KDAF Dallas getting TV morning news again? The answer is yes, but not a traditional morning newscast.

KDAF announced that it's launching Morning After Monday, June 1st at 10am on air and online. First the station produced Morning Dose, now it is the Morning After...I like it.

The show, which will be hosted by Ron Corning and Jenny Anchondo, promises to be, "equal parts informative and entertaining, engaging viewers as they go in-depth on topics that are top of mind locally and nationally."

“With the addition of Morning After, CW33 clearly recognized that in the last year Ron and Jenny have cultivated an audience and a following in the video podcast space,” KDAF Vice-President & General Manager John Trevino said on the station's website. "Bringing these two popular podcasts to broadcast made perfect sense, “This was an opportunity to build on a proven formula that brings hyper-local content to DFW viewers that audiences are craving on both our broadcast and digital platforms. This will also be the only local show at 10am, produced by the only locally owned TV station in the DFW market.”

As I posted a few weeks ago, in early April, KDAF started producing a web show called “Coronavirus: The Daily” with DFW TV personalities Corning and Anchondo along with producer Melissa Plaskoff. The station notes, that the two anchors were first paired to host the Dallas Holiday Parade.

In March 2019, Corning left WFAA 8's Daybreak where he anchored mornings for eight years. Before Dallas, he anchored nationally for World News Now, ABC World News This Morning and The Daily Buzz. Since channel 8, Corning has been helming the vodcast Morning After with Ron Corning, so the name continues on with his new project.

Anchondo returns to CW33 where she previously co-hosted the syndicated version of Morning Dose. Before KDAF, Anchondo anchored the FOX 4 KDFW weekend morning newscasts, “Good Day Saturday” and “Good Day Sunday” and reported for "Good Day" throughout the week. She also worked for WXIN Indianapolis, KOLD Tucson, AZ, KNDU/KNDO Kennewick, Washington and KQQQ-AM Pullman, Washington.

After Morning Dose, Anchondo hosted the Second Shot podcast.
