Kansas City CBS affiliate KCTV has launched a Spanish-language news segment to fill what it said is “a growing need for diverse and inclusive media representation.”
The segment is anchored by Carolina Cruz, who, the station said, is the only local fluent Spanish-speaking news anchor in the K.C. market.
“This is something we are so excited about and something we think is desperately needed in our community,” KCTV5 news director Josh Morgan said. “This is a major commitment to reaching and serving an audience that is often underserved.”
KCTV5 is committed to ensuring that every voice in our community is heard. ‘Cinco con Carolina’ is not just a news segment; it’s a platform for empowerment, offering insightful, relevant, and engaging content in Spanish. With Carolina’s expertise and passion for journalism, viewers can look forward to a dynamic and informative five-minute daily news update that resonates with their experiences and interests.
Cinco con Carolina airs on KCTV5′s website, social media and streaming platforms Monday-Friday at 11:05 a.m.
