Jenny Anchondo officially is on board as anchor of Fox4’s early morning weekend newscasts and reporter for the station’s weekday editions of Good Day.
She made her anchoring debut Saturday and already looked comfortably at home. Even a pair of non-stop yelping puppies didn’t seem to faze her, with meteorologist Jennifer Myers also weathering this little storm.
Unclebarky.com first reported in late August (at the end of a local ratings “snapshot”) that Anchondo had been interviewed by Fox4, although nothing officially had been decided yet. The station then announced her hiring on Sept. 23rd via a publicity release. The release didn’t make it to your friendly content provider despite previous assurances from Fox4’s New York-based corporate spokeswoman that all such hiring announcements would be sent to unclebarky.com among other media outlets. Still not on the list, though. Well, at least not that list.
Anchondo arrived from Fox affiliate WXIN-TV in Indianapolis and also has worked at KOLD-TV in Tucson and KNDU/KNDO-TV in Kennewick, Washington. Fox4 news director Robin Whitmeyer said in a statement that Anchondo’s “experience in breaking news, enterprise reporting -- specifically investigative consumer stories -- will provide further versatility to our team and enhance our news product.”
