Chavez leaves El Paso for Florida

After a little more than a year at the NBC affiliate in El Paso, reporter Jesse Chavez is moving on. He’s taken a job at WPTV-5 in West Palm Beach, where he’ll work weekday mornings as a reporter. He tells me his last day at KTSM-9 is March 8 and he starts at WPTV on April 8.

Jesse started in the news business as a producer, working at the NBC stations in Phoenix, Los Angeles and Chicago, before taking on his first reporter gig at WEEK-25 in East Peoria, IL.
