Cruz returns to KYMA as news director

January 30, 2012 by Veronica Villafañe

Luis Cruz just can’t get enough of Yuma!  He’s returning to KYMA to become news director for a third time at the station.  He starts the new job on Wednesday, February 1st.

Luis was most recently a reporter and fill-in anchor at KGTV, the ABC affiliate in San Diego.  His last day at that station was January 20th.

What’s pulling him back?

“I realized I missed mentoring young broadcast journalists and being on the management side of the business,” Luis tells me. “I still have my home in Yuma, Arizona and I’m excited to return to the number one rated television news station in the Desert Southwest.”

Luis was News Director at KYMA from 2004-2006 and then again from 2008-2011.  He was weekend morning anchor at KVBC now KSNV (NBC affiliate) in Las Vegas from 2006 to 2008.
