"Chattin’ with Chelsea!" will debut on FOX 26 KRIV Houston on August 26, 2024, announced station Senior Vice President and General Manager D’Artagnan Bebel.
Chelsea Edwards transitions from FOX 26 anchor/reporter to host this locally produced half-hour program, which will air on weekdays at 12:30 p.m. and stream via FOX Local and FOX Soul.
"Chelsea is a native Houstonian who has spent years earning the trust of our viewers by diving into the issues that affect our communities," Bebel stated. "With her vibrant and charismatic personality, she is perfectly suited to provide humor and levity while amplifying diverse perspectives and sharing stories that matter."
The station says the show is designed to celebrate women’s resilience and empowerment, highlighting how modern-day women navigate life's complexities, from family and careers to relationships, health, beauty, wellness, social issues, and more. The goal will be to inform, uplift, and inspire through conversations about all topics that affect Houston’s women, ranging from parenting to fitness, today’s dating scene, managing a successful professional life, and cooking on the go.
Each episode of the program will feature a mix of experts, celebrities, and local women as guests.
"Unveiling a show dedicated to the celebration and empowerment of women is an absolute dream realized," Edwards said. "It fills me with an indescribable joy to transition from reporting news to creating content that is not only enjoyable but insightful, too. This isn't just a program; it's a movement where every woman's voice is heard and cherished."
Edwards joined FOX 26 Houston in 2019. Prior to launching this program, she served as a morning news reporter and fill-in anchor on "Houston’s Morning Show."
Before returning to Houston, Edwards was a reporter for KWTX News 10 Waco. Prior to reporting, she spent nearly six years as a video editor for ABC13 KTRK Houston. In addition, she spent four years running a TX21st afterschool program in Klein ISD.
A graduate of Texas Southern University, Edwards holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Telecommunications.
