Miami NBC O&O WTVJ has announced plans to launch a daily lifestyle and entertainment show hosted by Roxanne Vargas.

“6 in the Mix” will air on weekdays at 11:30 a.m and will feature segments on restaurants, entertainment, fashion, nightlife and local events. It will air following WTVJ’s 11 a.m. newscast, anchored by Pam Giganti.

“The half hour is filled with the hot happenings going on around town,” WTVJ director of creative services Jose Suarez said in a statement. “It will offer viewers a great look at the day’s hottest headlines. If people are talking about it in the office, we’ll be talking about it on the show.”

WTVJ announced today that Adam Kuperstein will join Jackie Nespral as anchor of the NBC station’s 5, 6, and 11 p.m. newscasts.

Kuperstein, who has been with WTVJ since 2005, has transitioned to the news desk over the last several months while serving as the station’s weekend sports anchor and weekday sports reporter.  For the past six years, he has also co-hosted WTVJ’s Sunday night sports show.

“This is an incredible honor for me,” Kuperstein said. “I am excited to have the opportunity to come into our viewers’ homes in this new role and look forward to informing and serving the South Florida community for many years.” Read more
