WSVN’s ‘Today In Florida’ Welcomes New Anchor Team

Sunbeam Television’s Fox affiliate WSVN Miami today announced an anchor team change for its six-hour morning news block.

Lorena Estrada and Tavares Jones will join Alex de Armas and Ethan Calloway as weekday morning co-anchors on Today in Florida from 5 to 11 a.m. Estrada will begin her new role in November, while Jones starts immediately. They most recently anchored together on weekend mornings.

Oliva DiVenti, who joined WSVN as a reporter in April 2023, will anchor the weekend morning edition of Today in Florida, with a co-anchor yet to be named. These changes are a result of newly married anchor Vanessa Borge deciding to leave in November, when she relocates to Los Angeles to join her husband.

“We are delighted to promote Lorena and Tavares to weekday mornings,” said Alice Jacobs, VP of news and local programming.  “They are both credible journalists and have a natural ability to connect with morning viewers. They also have a great chemistry with each other, and current anchors, Alex and Ethan.”

WSVN added an hour (10-11 a.m.) of news weekdays in June, building on the longtime success of Today in Florida.

“We are grateful to Vanessa for her contributions during her time at 7 News,” said Paul Magnes, co-president-GM. “Vanessa’s departure will result in three well-deserved promotions, with anchor teams that will continue building on our success.”
