Starting August 18, KRIV – the Fox O&O in Houston, will debut weekday newscasts at 5 and 5:30 p.m. anchored by Mike Barajas and Melinda Spaulding.
The station’s general manager told TVNewsday that with this expansion KRIV will “now produce the most hours of weekday news in the market.”
Mike Barajas, who has been with FOX since its inception in 1986, is the weeknight co-anchor of FOX 26 News at 9.
He will also continue his prime-time anchoring duties.
