KPRC 2 Houston weekend morning newscast viewers saw Cathy Hernandez and Brittany Jeffers behind the news desk Sunday, and from what mikemcguff.com understands, this is the new permanent 2023 "KPRC 2 News Today" weekend morning anchor team along with longtime meteorologist Khambrel Marshall.
UPDATE APRIL 2023
Cathy Hernandez and Brittany Jeffers make it official
Hernandez and Jeffers apparently are not just fill-in anchoring as they have been off and on (with a mix of other KPRC talent), after Sofia Ojeda left the newscast last summer.
No word on which newscast Sabirah Rayford, who was hired to anchor the KPRC 2 News Today weekend morning news in 2021, will anchor from this point on. Either way, she will still be a reporter during the week based on her normal schedule.
Hernandez joined KPRC as a temporary reporter from KDVR and KWGN Denver in 2015.
