Meteorologist Anthony Yanez Returns To KPRC Houston

Graham Media Group’s NBC affiliate KPRC Houston has added Meteorologist Anthony Yanez to its morning newscast KPRC 2 News Today, following more than six years at KNBC Los Angeles.

“I have always loved KPRC 2 and Houston,” says Yanez, a married father of five. “The people in this community are one of a kind, and I can’t wait to get home.”

Prior to his departure in 2015, Yanez was part of the KPRC weather team for more than 11 years and was a popular member of the KPRC 2 News morning team, alongside morning anchor Owen Conflenti.

“The ‘bromance’ of Anthony Yanez & Owen Conflenti has become something of a legend in Houston morning TV,” said KPRC VP-GM Jerry Martin. “We are excited to have Anthony back on KPRC 2 News Today, where he belongs.”

With more than 25 years of broadcast news experience, Yanez found his passion in weather, and holds seals of approval with prominent weather organizations including the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the National Weather Association (NWA). He was awarded the 2020 best weathercast by the Radio & Television News Association of Southern California.

Yanez came to KPRC in 2003 from KRQE Albuquerque, N.M.

His first day at KPRC will be Sept. 1.
