After less than a year-and-a-half at NBC5, reporter Chris Jose is leaving the Fort Worth-based station and joining the news staff of Atlanta’s WSB-TV, that city’s ABC affiliate.

Jose arrived at NBC5 in September 2015 from Denver, where he reported for both Fox’s KDVR-TV and The CW’s KWGN-TV.

“We’re moving to Atlanta! Sounds crazy, right?” Jose posted on his Facebook page Monday, Feb. 20th. “The thought is overwhelming, but we’re excited for this new adventure.”

Jose and his wife, Jaclyn, are the new parents of twins Cameron and Julianna.

“I’ll always be thankful for the opportunity NBC5 gave me,” he said. “I worked alongside some of the best photojournalists in the country and I’m proud of the work we accomplished everyday . . . No egos. No BS. They always had your back. I learned a lot from them. I’m grateful for their input, both professionally and personally.”

Jose, who is scheduled to join WSB on March 13th, termed it a “legacy station considered to be one of the greatest in the country. I look forward to joining a team of veteran journalists who are committed to telling impactful stories in every newscast.”

He is in his last week with NBC5, Jose said.
