The management at KFOX-TV Channel 14 (cable Channel 8) announced the hiring of a new morning anchor to replace Israel Balderas, who left several weeks ago to return to Washington, D.C.
Stephanie Guadian,
a Las Cruces native and Mayfield High School graduate, will join Noreen Jaramillo in the morning desk starting on Monday. She comes to El Paso via Houston, where she anchored the weekend news at KTRK-TV, the ABC affiliate. She has also worked in Phoenix and San Francisco.
A graduate of Northern Arizona University, Guadian said she's happy to be back in the El Paso region.
"After years of living in great news markets, I decided to do what I love near the people I love," she said. "It's a good time to be home."
Welcome back Ms. Guadian. Hopefully you will also replace the bumbling, stammering Noreen Jaramillo during the morning news.

I know the sexist police will call me out on this one...but two female anchors?

It won't be for long that it's two girls. I heard their getting rid of Jaramillo. She seems nice but the woman cannot get through any of the news without messing up. But I guess John Purvis is the same.

If Jaramillo goes...the whole newscast goes. O'Hara has wanted her gone from day one due to rampant jealousy, but even her little bird brain knows it would bury the show. I wish Ms. Guadian the best...but honey, you really should have done your research.

There is much more going on than meets the eye. I'm glad I don't watch this show.

I wish the people on this post would ban this GayBoy who ever you are from posting stupid comments.

El Paso is getting a great talent in Stephanie. I worked with her at KTRK and she is an excellent Anchor / Reporter and very professional.
