KSBY is bringing aboard a new evening co-anchor
Central Coast television station KSBY will have a new evening news co-anchor starting in mid-October.
Nina Lozano will take Carina Corral’s place on KSBY’s 5 p.m., 6 p.m., 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts with co-anchor Richard Gearheart, the NBC affiliate reported.
Corral had been an evening co-anchor at the San Luis Obispo TV station since 2016. Corral had previously worked at the station as a reporter and morning news anchor for nine years, according to KSBY.
The release said Corral will be departing KSBY on Friday to become a communications representative for PG&E.
Lozano will begin working for the Central Coast news station beginning Oct. 12.
“It’s great to have Nina come aboard here at KSBY,” Ed Chapuis, vice president and general manager of KSBY, said in a news release. “She’ll be a true asset to us as we push forward in producing impactful enterprise journalism for our community.”
Lozano was born in the Philippines and moved to Tampa, Florida, in 2014 after earning a broadcast communication degree from University of the Philippines Diliman, according to the release.
Lozano worked as a weekend morning news anchor for the past three years at KTNV-TV, the E.W. Scripps Company-owned ABC affiliate in Las Vegas. Prior to her Las Vegas job, she worked as a reporter in Rochester, New York and at WFLA in Tampa.
“I’m thrilled to be making this move to KSBY and becoming a member of the community on California’s beautiful Central Coast,” Lozano said in the release.
KSBY was sold to Scripps along with 14 other television news stations owned by Cordillera Communications in 2018.
