Ernesto Mourelo, KVEA-52’s assistant news director broke the news on a late afternoon memo to employees on Friday: “I’m also pleased to announce that effective Monday, June 16th, Jose Armando Ronstadt will become part of the Buenos Dias team, joining Azalea Iñiguez and Ericka Pino on the anchor desk.”
José Ronstadt, who has been anchoring KWHY-22’s 7 pm newscast, is no stranger to morning shows. In the mid-90’s, he hosted channel 52’s morning news and entertainment program “Hola Los Angeles.” And for those who remember, he also co-hosted the short-lived “Hola América,” on Univision network in the early 90’s. No word yet on whether or not he’ll be replaced, or if his co-anchor, Palmira Pérez will go solo at 7 pm.
