Did KPRC traffic reporter meltdown on live TV?
So we now know the answer to the much asked question, who is taking over morning traffic on channel 2 after Jennifer Reyna.
Here is what she posted on Facebook:
So many people have been asking me about where Jennifer Reyna is heading. I have no idea at this point, but at least we know who is taking over her position.
But back to Reyes, this will actually be a homecoming because back in 2015, she was a web editor for click2houton.com. You might have also heard her as a News92FM KROI feature reporter and web editor from 2013 to 2015.
After Houston, Reyes went to work for KTAB-KRBC Abilene in 2015. She moved to KVUE Austin in 2017.
Reyes, who was born in Monterrey, Mexico, but raised in Houston, is a University of Texas at San Antonio grad. She interned at KABB San Antonio.

She has also worked in Abilene, Texas, where she produced, wrote, edited, reported and anchored an all-Spanish newscast for Telemundo, as well as in English for the company’s sister stations, KRBC-TV and KTAB-TV News. Prior to that Anavid worked as a web editor for KPRC’s Click2Houston.com digital platform and served as a feature reporter and web editor at Houston’s News 92FM.
