Mirthala is back on the air… and in L.A.

She lost her job over an affair with mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, but former anchor and reporter Mirthala Salinas has landed another broadcasting job after more than five months out of the news business.

The scandal caused her suspension and in the end, termination from Telemundo’s KVEA-52. But now, Francisco Castro of Hoy is reporting that Mirthala is the new co-host of the weekday morning show “Hoy por Hoy” on Tijuana-based XETRA-AM 690 “W Radio,” which targets Los Angeles, San Diego and Ventura County.
