  1. Thank you Pedro for everything you contributed to the KTLA family. I’m sure you became home sick? Too bad for Los Angeles, but we only wish you the best in your new endeavors. Good luck take care and may God continue to bless you

  7. Pedro, I really enjoyed you at Weekends on KTLA and recently noticed you hadn’t been on the past two weekends. So I had to check and I see you have made the move back home to the Big Apple. I miss seeing your handsome face and smooth reporting. You are missed. Best of luck with your new endeavors as you have so much to offer and give of yourself. Keep on Salsa Dancing

  8. PERHAPS ON YOUR JOURNEY OF THIS THING CALLED LIFE , IF YOU FIND YOURSELF BACK IN THE CALIFAS…WELL THAT WOULD BE COOL…

    • I really haven’t enjoyed the KTLA weekend morning crew since the passing of Chris Burrows. And it’s been a real hodgepodge since Lynette Romero left. Too many faces at the anchor desk at once and no stability.
