Univision Houston will have a new weeknight co-anchor starting next Monday, April 24.
Marcela Pérez Barros will share the anchor desk with Raúl Peimbert Monday through Friday at 5 and 10 pm.
She replaces Michelle Galván, who left the station in February to become co-anchor of Univision network’s “Primer Impacto” news magazine.
Pérez Barros joins the Noticias 45 Houston from Univision Chicago, where she had been a reporter since July 2015, leaving the station the first week of April.
She previously worked as a journalist in Chile for Imagen View TV and as an economic reporter for Diario La República in her native Colombia.
Her addition to Univision Houston comes shortly after a massive way of nation-wide layoffs that cut multiple jobs at the station, affecting among others, sports anchor Enrique González, reporter Angélica Gómez and cameraman Mauricio García.
Another cheap addition to their newscasts. Ay, univision. Even Michelle galvan was a cheap move when they used the work visa program bring her from mexico. That is a slap on the face to all the Latinos that got their expensive education in the states to be Mike the fake journalist jorge ramos.
Hold on…. but she will be a VJ diring the week? With all the lay offs, there’s no resources to help with the prompter
