Torres returns to San Antonio as weather anchor for Univision

July 27, 2016 by Veronica Villafañe

Gabriel TorresGabriel Torres has left his job as video journalist at KXTX Telemundo 39 in Dallas to return to San Antonio, where he has taken on a new role as weather anchor at KWEX Univision 41.

In addition to doing weather, Gabriel will also do traffic segments and continue his work as a VJ, producing feature and community stories.

He is currently completing his certification to become a meteorologist.

Prior to joining Univision last week, Gabriel worked at Telemundo 39 in Dallas since March of 2015. Before that, he did a brief stint as a VJ at KTDO Telemundo El Paso.

Gabriel previously worked in San Antonio as a reporter for KVDA Telemundo 60.

He started his journalism career when he was just 15, as a writer for “Líder Informativo,” a paper in Laredo and began working in TV in 2011 – when he was just 19 – as a segment host and production assistant for Univision/Fox News Laredo.

    En menos de dos años éste Torres ha trabajado en tres diferentes estaciones (otros dicen que en cuatro )..Sólo sé que tiene fama de mentiroso consumado y de chismoso profesional, además de lambiscon y arribista. No sé de donde sacó que es Weather Anchor. Su resume está plagado de mentiras. Un ejemplo más de la porquería que están contratando sin tan siquiera tomarse el tiempo de verificar al candidato(a). Un procedimiento que solo realizan cuando les conviene. Por eso y por muhco más es que la television hispana hace rato que va de mal en peor.

    Respondiendo a su pregunta. No es odio. Es la verdad. En México a éste tipo de personas como lo es Torres,les llamamos “barberos”. Lástima que tan jóven, ya tenga que recurrir al engaño y el servilismo para conseguir lo que quiere. Acaso usted no se ha preguntado por qué si dice ser “tan buen reportero” como plantean algunos aquí, apenas a durado mas de un año en una estacion de television?
