CBS4 names Britt Moreno morning anchor

CBS4 has named Britt Moreno morning and noon anchor alongside Alan Gionet. After dropping Brooke Wagner from the anchor spot (http://blogs.denverpost.com/ostrow/2013/01/02/brooke-wagner-cbs4/12231/), the station has named Moreno as her morning anchor replacement. Moreno will co-anchor with Gionet on the “CBS4 Morning News” at 5 a.m. and 6 a.m., and “CBS4 News at Noon” beginning in early April.

The bilingual Moreno was previously a weekend morning anchor at KSAZ-TV, the Fox TV affiliate in Phoenix, since 2010. Prior to KSAZ-TV, Moreno worked at KRGV-TV in south Texas as a general assignment reporter. She is originally from Austin.
CBS4 is making changes to address its struggle in the morning rating race, after finishing dead last in the November sweeps, 6-7 a.m.
