UPDATE NOVEMBER 2024
Roxy Van Ruiten joins KENS 5 San Antonio
"Dear friends and viewers, what an incredible journey it’s been having the privilege to give you all the weather every morning for the last 2 years.
Last week I resigned from my role as the Morning forecaster and I want to thank you all for your sweet & kind messages.
I love my craft & my city and I’m so excited to continue my education, as well as do lots of traveling this next coming month! Not to get all mushyyyy but this position has really allowed me to meet the most amazing and supportive people I could ever ask for.
You all have changed my life for the better and I can’t wait to share with y’all what I have planned next. It was an honor to serve you El Paso, thank you for the amazing memories."
