Franque Thompson/FOX 13 KCPQ — (X.com) On 4/24/2012 I celebrated my birthday by accepting my first job offer in news. On this year’s birthday 4/24/2024 I celebrated my promotion as weekend anchor. Honored to have this new opportunity. Grateful for the love & support shown to me on all birthdays & throughout my career.
Franque Thompson takes weekend anchor assignment at KCPQ
Congratulations on her promotion. Really hoping to see her alongside of Jade Elliott in the mornings. She will certainly turn the morning newscast back into what it should be, a newscast, replacing Taylor.
She’s replacing Matthew Smith on weekends. Matthew moved to weekday anchor, anchoring the 4 & 5 pm shows with Hana Kim and the 9 pm show with Sabirah Rayford.
Boy I think that’s a mistake Matthew Smith in my opinion is not that good of a newscaster and I get tired of seeing some of these people in studio trying to grow a beard with it just have a bunch of peach fuzz you look better without it Matthew
