KENS 5’s Isis Romero has taken top honors in the Best News Anchor category for four consecutive years. The streak coincided with the South Texas native’s 2022 jump to the station after being fired from KSAT, the station where she worked for 11 years. That departure came as a shock to many, especially since it came after Romero helped lead an audit that showed a lack of Latinos in San Antonio newsrooms. “Ultimately, it wasn’t my decision, and I have to respect that,” Romero told the Express-News last year. “I’m so grateful [to] now find myself at KENS 5 and be able to continue my career. My approach has been to try to move forward in a positive way.” Clearly, Current readers respect that positivity along with Romero’s professionalism and ease in front of the camera.
