Rudy Mireles took over for the retired KRGV 5 anchor, Oscar Adame, in May 2022.
Here is what Mireless posted on Facebook:
"It’s my honor to announce that I have accepted the position that Oscar leaves after 23 years.
While no one can ever replace my predecessor, I can promise you that I will do my best to live up to the responsibility that comes with this chair.
I am truly blessed and humbled by the support from YOU our viewers the last couple of years. I hope that I continue to earn that support because above all else that’s what matters the most to me. It’s you that makes our continued success a reality. And I know we all will work hard to maintain that because WE report to YOU."
Mireless joined KRGV in March 2022 as a reporter.
