      1. I’m glad that she left kusi she didn’t look happy there besides that station is run by all blond lady’s some are ok but some really get in my nerves but even do Elizabeth left ironically fix 5 but out kusi they should just taking out of context all they do is kiss up to the mayor

  1. What happened to Francella Perez? She was the BEST Weather meteorologist on KUSI because she knew what she was taking about! I do not care for Mark Mathis doing the evening weather.

  2. Elizabeth was a true gem. I don’t want to go on about how good she was but I looked forward to seeing her on Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 a.m. because she was charming, intelligent, and had a warm rapport with all of the guests and her co-anchor. She was a natural. Replacing her with the young, inexperienced anchors made me lose respect for the station. I had called the station manager multiple times about the lack of diversity but he blew me off like I was some sort of oddball from another planet. Why aren’t there more reporters from the African-American and Asian communities working for KUSI? I love the way their delve into San Diego specific stories but they need to be more inclusive in the newsroom. That’s all.

  3. I miss Elizabeth, too. Beautiful, WELL-DRESSED, HAIR ALWAYS LOOKS GREAT, intelligent, great personality, lovely smile. KUSI let go of a real gem. Now that Mark Mathis is only on the weekends, the morning show has gotten SOOO boring! After I read that Rudi and Finney changed their stories during the Sandra Maas trial and backstabbed her, I really don’t have any respect for either one.

  4. Iโ€™m watching Elizabeth Alvarez on Fox 5. Used to watch 9 but I donโ€™t like some of the recent changes. I like Mark Mathis for weather but think Dave on 5 is doing a good job. Miss Mark though, he has a personality!
    Liked Paul on early morning 9 but Laura doesnโ€™t have a sense of humor. However, Fox 5 has my viewership now.

  5. I wondered where Elizabeth Alvarez had gone, since I am a big fan. Just happened on Fox’s news program this morning and, low and behold, there she was! I hope Fox made her a great deal, as she’s worth it. I miss her on KUSI, lots of changes there, not all for the better. That said, I prefer them over Fox, as they cover San Diego’s issues more thoroughly. Best of luck, Elizabeth!

  6. I donโ€™t miss her. When delivering any story she would say, โ€˜ya know?โ€™ No, Elizabeth, I donโ€™t know. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m watching the newsโ€ฆto find out. Ya know? I do switch over to Fox 5 sometimes, but the second I see Elizabeth, I switch to a different station.

    1. You have my thoughts word for word. In fact, I would say them often during her broadcasts.

      To be fair, I caught a couple of her broadcasts at her new job and she was perfect in her delivery. She dropped no Ya Know’s during those broadcasts.

  7. So Glad to see Elizabeth Alvarez on Fox 5 San Diego…. She still does those tough assignments and did a great job as anchor last weekend…

    Still wondering about another great KUSI reporter and anchor… Ginger Jefferies….. I wish her well….

    1. Yes….me too !!! Quite a lot of well seasoned veteran reporter’s LEAVE KUSI WHY??
      You go to the site and “click” about that reporter and no information , Jenny milkowski has gone also…I heard Sandra mass is sueing for millions for discrimination but haven’t heard or seen anything since then…alota drama behind the camera, E. Alvarez “congratulations on new STATION hopefully she will be treated with respect THERE…kusi is a family business u know what that means!?!?!

  8. Milkowski, an anchor/feature reporter for KUSI/San Diego from November 2021-November 2022, was previously with KFMB tv/San Diego (2018-2021). Milkowski left KUSI without an on-air goodbye and dropped off of social media at that time, her last posting was in October 2022. Viewer response to Jennifer’s on-air antics varied, she had her critics and fans. For a glimpse of what she brought to KUSI news, check out the video at this link https://qzvx.com/2022/08/29/reporting-traffic-is-hard-dance-it-off/

  9. What has happened to Jenny Milkowski gees she wasn’t on KUSI for what 4 months and hasn’t been seen close to a month now!!!

    1. YUUUUUUUP, goodness!!
      I loved her corkyness and always smiled,joked very uplifting journalist , she was before there time at kusi there not ready for her, there an old dog station plus Drama behind the camera, I’m surprised mark Mathis is still there!! I see nothing but bad comments, he’s just a pill ๐Ÿ’Š that needs more milk to wash down plus HIGH ENERGY!!

  10. I happen to adore Elizabeth Al erez she was the light ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ that held the darkness accountable. I hope that FOX 5 secured her ๐Ÿ’ฐ bag because I seen where 9 was pushing her out the door for that thing Lauren Plenty lol ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜‚

    1. YUUUUUUUP, family ran business and ya know what that means!?!
      Goodbye well seasoned veteran reporter’s time to put someone on a high pedestal no matter the experience!! Too bad I’ve followed kusi since the 90’s and to hear the stories about the station now ๐Ÿ’”

  11. Alvarez is very professional. I found KUSI to become very wearisome with the constant joking around, that Mark Mathis guy who thinks he is the cutest thing on the planet, and the constant emphasis on Prep Pigskin Report (or whatever it is called) which is merely high school football. How many viewers give a heck about high school football? Humbug !

  12. I’M SO HAPPY I SEE ELIZABETH’ I WAS SAD I DIDNT SEE HER ON KUSI. IVE BEEN A FAN FOR KUSI FOR YEAR’s SINCE ROD LUCK AND LAURA BUXTON. AND JOHN AND. DAVE SCOTT WAS THERE. JOHN AND ROD ARE DEEPLY MISSED. MAY THEY R.I.P. IM SO GLAD ELIZABETH IS WITH FOX 5 NEWS NOW WITH RAOUL AND SHALLY. IM A FOX 5 NEWS FAN AS WELL.’ GOD BLESS& LOVE YOU ALL. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐ŸŒด ๐Ÿ˜ƒโ‚ฌ\\

  13. Iโ€™m glad to see Elizabeth again on TV, I
    Enjoyed seeing her on KUSI, I was
    Disappointed when she was no longer
    On that Channel, this morning I see sheโ€™s
    with Channel 5โ€ฆ..it made me very happy
    Iโ€™ll now watch Channel 5โ€ฆTom Greco

  14. Just want to say I really enjoy watching you every morning with my cup of coffee not because you are Mexicans but for your professionalism o good move to fix 5 you are going to fit just right diverse news anchor kusi puro huero e hueras and they all look a like felicidades.vivs la raza

    1. Racist much, Marco? On one hand you say you enjoy watching her not because she is Mexican, the next breath you say KUSI is too white. You close with a racist remark- Viva La Raza!

      You know who else wanted a pure race of his people to endure? Adolf Hitler.

  15. Elizabeth has shown her versatility and attributes that Fox 5, as a network affiliate, can use. She’s a great talent -and a great smile.

  16. The plantation mentality is alive among the minorities, and the politicians keep throwing the race card to keep that fervor heightened.
    There is no good argument for forced diversity in the news room other than to kowtow to the loud minority that corporate America fears. Blacks are 13% of the population. They are not backed by white politicians, except to get their vote. That goes for Hispanics and Asians as well. Politicians of color got to where they are by hard-work, raising lots of money, kissing ass and sleeping with the right people. The same way white politicians got where they are.
    Minorities have been fooled and are fooling themselves to think that the majority of people in America give a damn the color or ethnicity of the newscaster, except that most Americans believe filling quotas in hiring is not the answer. Hiring must be done on the basis of qualified talent. Not simply in order to have a rainbow of minorities at the newsdesk. Hiring quotas are supported by: minorities and the politicians hoping to get the vote of the minorities. Hiring quotas brought us Ryan Yamamoto and Rhonda Lee.

  17. This is why I stopped watching KUSI, they got rid of all the non white, no diversity at all! Itโ€™s a shame. Good for you Elizabeth, I now watch you on Fox 5!

  18. Receiving news without blaming conservatives, especially Trumpers, is a rare breath of fresh air. Elizabeth often tainted her reactions to her news stories with liberal reactions. She drank the cool-aid. If I wanted that kind of propaganda I could turn on MSNBC or CNN.

  19. It’s about time Liz! KUSI is a one sided news station, notably for trumpers. You deserve better. Best of luck and success to you in your new job!
