Jessica Gonzalez moved to the KFOX14 El Paso evening co-anchor shift from mornings in late October 2024.
Gonzalez takes the seat left vacant by Liz Dueweke.
Here is what Gonzalez posted on social:
"I cannot tell you how proud and lucky I am to have been part of this morning crew for the last 6 years.
Know that everyone here is passionate about what they do. Each one has a talent of their own.
Four hours of news on the zombie shift is not easy and they do it effortlessly.
Starting Monday, you can catch me on the anchor desk alongside my friend and co-worker Robert Holguin. See you at 5 and 9! Alexa, turn off my 2 a.m. alarm."
So now Gonzalez will be in primetime with Holguin and meteorologist Brad Montgomery at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. This is quite a schedule change from her previous 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. shift!
In 2014, Gonzalez joined KFOX14 as an assignments editor and later became a KFOX14/CBS4 digital content producer.
Gonzalez jumped into the on-air world in 2018 as a KFOX morning traffic anchor before starting to co-anchor the AM news when John Purvis was there.
Before KFOX, Gonzalez worked at ESPN in Connecticut in the production department for SportsCenter, Monday Night Football, and Sunday Night Baseball.
She previously worked for Noticias 26 Univision El Paso KINT's morning show.
An Irvin High School and New Mexico State University graduate, Gonzalez anchored for NMSU's student-run newscast News 22.
