Jane Monreal is joining KIII as morning co-anchor, the Corpus Christi ABC affiliate announced today.

Monreal was most recently a reporter and fill-in anchor at KCNC, the CBS O&O in Denver. Prior to that, she spent five years as a reporter at KABC, the ABC O&O in Los Angeles. Monreal will share the anchor desk with John Thomas, who currently anchors solo.

“I’m excited about being part of a station and news team that has such a strong tradition of excellence and commitment to the community,” Monreal said in a statement. “Everything I’ve learned about the station and South Texas indicatesa  bright future ahead. I believe it’s a good time to be here.”
