Chrisdyann Uribe joins Fox 26 KRIV

Chrisdyann Uribe has joined FOX 26 as a traffic reporter from KEYE Austin

Chrisdyann Uribe

HOUSTON – Chrisdyann Uribe has joined FOX 26 as a traffic reporter, announced station Vice President and News Director, Susan Schiller.

Effective June 2017, Uribe will handle traffic on weekday morning newscasts, as well as report for various other newscasts.

In making the announcement, Schiller stated, “Between Chrisdyann’s many years reporting on Texas traffic, and strong presence on broadcast and social media, she is prepared to help Houston’s drivers better navigate their commutes and avoid construction projects or delays.”

Most recently, Uribe served as traffic anchor and general assignment reporter for KEYE in Austin, TX. Prior to that, she was a traffic anchor and general assignment reporter for KFOX in El Paso, TX.

A graduate of Texas State University (San Marcos), Uribe holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electronic Media.

KRIV is part of the FOX Television Stations, one of the nation's largest owned-and-operated network broadcast groups, comprising 28 stations in 17 markets and covering over 37% of U.S. television homes. This includes seven duopolies in the top 10 markets: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Houston; as well as duopolies in Minneapolis, Phoenix, Orlando and Charlotte.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
I posted the news earlier this week on my Facebook page that FOX 26 KRIV has brought local programming to its 10pm hour. “The Isiah Factor: Uncensored” and “What’s Your Point” will now air nightly Monday through Friday.
