Lomibao to KIRO 7; Jeffries returns to tv news; New blood at Fresno station

Seems to be a revolving door at KIRO these days. KIRO 7 adds Samantha Lomibao to the reporting team. Lomibao comes to KIRO after a stint at KESQ/News Channel 3 – Palm Springs. Samantha joined the KESQ in May 2021. Samantha graduated from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University in May 2019.

A Fresno native and recent grad of Fresno State, Anissa Martinez, will begin her new career on Monday as a reporter on Great Day (FOX 26 KMPH).

Ginger Jeffries left KUSI/San Diego last year (November 2022) and stated that she was leaving the tv news business. That didn’t last long. Jeffries is back, this time in Phoenix at KPNX 15. She is not a news anchor this time, but instead a meteorologist.
