Chris Riva Joining Fox 19 For Early Evening News Expansion

Gray has announced that Chris Riva will join their outlet after Riva had a stint at WCPO-TV

Former WCPO-TV morning anchor Chris Riva will return to local airwaves next week in preparation for WXIX-TV's early evening news expansion.

Riva, whose Good Morning Tri-State contract was not renewed in 2018, will be an anchor-reporter when Channel 19 adds 5-6:30 p.m. weekday newscasts on Jan. 6.

"It was a very quick decision on my part. It was a perfect opportunity, a perfect situation," says Riva about meeting with Vice President Debbie Bush and News Director Steve Hyvonen last month.

A Monroe native, Riva told me he has turned down TV jobs at six out-of-town stations since leaving Channel 9 because he wanted to raise his family here. His wife Jamie, a Mercy High School graduate, teaches third grade in Hamilton. They got engaged at Sawyer Point; married at St. Xavier Church downtown; and now live in Mason.

"I love this community. I want my kids to grow up here. Every decision I make now is for my family," Riva says.

The Wright State University graduate who did two stints at Channel 9 gives Fox 19 a solid anchor-reporter who knows the territory, Bush says.
