Sergio Avila, who back in July proposed to his girlfriend on live television, has joined the KGUN-9 news team as a general assignment reporter.
“My move to Tucson is the beginning of a whole new life for me,” Sergio told me. “Not only am I looking forward to getting to know and serve this community but I’m also looking forward to my new life with my soon to be wife.”
Sergio leaves KYMA-TV, the NBC affiliate in Yuma, Arizona, where he has worked since November of 2005, the year he graduated from USC. He started out as an assignment editor, moving on to producing/reporting. He has been a full-time reporter for the past two years.
