Rita Garcia returns to Houston as morning anchor

July 23, 2021 by Veronica Villafañe

After a two-month break, Rita Garcia will be back on the air as a morning anchor at ABC13 Houston.

She joins the Eyewitness Team from 4:30 to 7:00 am with co-anchor Samica Knight and meteorologist Elita Loresca.

Her first day on the air will be Monday, July 26.

Garcia left KTTV Fox 11’s Good Day L.A. in May, after anchoring the morning show four years. At the time, she said she was moving back to Texas to be near family but didn’t reveal any work plans.

This marks her return to Houston. She was previously a weekday morning anchor at KRIV from 2013 to 2017.
