Francella Perez does weather reporting for KNSD NBC 7-San Diego.
Ken Allen • July 4, 2023
What happened to Francella Perez? She was the BEST Weather meteorologist on KUSI because she knew what she was taking about! I do not care for Mark Mathis doing the evening weather.

Elizabeth was a true gem. I don’t want to go on about how good she was but I looked forward to seeing her on Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 a.m. because she was charming, intelligent, and had a warm rapport with all of the guests and her co-anchor. She was a natural. Replacing her with the young, inexperienced anchors made me lose respect for the station. I had called the station manager multiple times about the lack of diversity but he blew me off like I was some sort of oddball from another planet. Why aren’t there more reporters from the African-American and Asian communities working for KUSI? I love the way their delve into San Diego specific stories but they need to be more inclusive in the newsroom. That’s all.

Elizabeth Alvarez is great! I stopped watching KUSI ! It’s not the same anymore!
Rose • April 6, 2023
I miss Elizabeth, too. Beautiful, WELL-DRESSED, HAIR ALWAYS LOOKS GREAT, intelligent, great personality, lovely smile. KUSI let go of a real gem. Now that Mark Mathis is only on the weekends, the morning show has gotten SOOO boring! After I read that Rudi and Finney changed their stories during the Sandra Maas trial and backstabbed her, I really don’t have any respect for either one.
Albert Medel • March 4, 2023
Paul Rudi is the worst news anchor. Stick to sports Rudi.
Nancy Mosby • February 27, 2023
I’m watching Elizabeth Alvarez on Fox 5. Used to watch 9 but I don’t like some of the recent changes. I like Mark Mathis for weather but think Dave on 5 is doing a good job. Miss Mark though, he has a personality!
Liked Paul on early morning 9 but Laura doesn’t have a sense of humor. However, Fox 5 has my viewership now.
Deborah • February 13, 2023
I wondered where Elizabeth Alvarez had gone, since I am a big fan. Just happened on Fox’s news program this morning and, low and behold, there she was! I hope Fox made her a great deal, as she’s worth it. I miss her on KUSI, lots of changes there, not all for the better. That said, I prefer them over Fox, as they cover San Diego’s issues more thoroughly. Best of luck, Elizabeth!
Celine Etesse • January 17, 2023
I don’t miss Ginger Jefferies!!
M • January 11, 2023
I don’t miss her. When delivering any story she would say, ‘ya know?’ No, Elizabeth, I don’t know. That’s why I’m watching the news…to find out. Ya know? I do switch over to Fox 5 sometimes, but the second I see Elizabeth, I switch to a different station.
Wayne • May 30, 2023
You have my thoughts word for word. In fact, I would say them often during her broadcasts.
To be fair, I caught a couple of her broadcasts at her new job and she was perfect in her delivery. She dropped no Ya Know’s during those broadcasts.
Dave B • January 10, 2023
So Glad to see Elizabeth Alvarez on Fox 5 San Diego…. She still does those tough assignments and did a great job as anchor last weekend…
Still wondering about another great KUSI reporter and anchor… Ginger Jefferies….. I wish her well….

Robert Ahshing • January 20, 2023

Alvarez “congratulations on new STATION hopefully she will be treated with respect THERE…kusi is a family business u know what that means!?!?!
Rob Sanders • March 2, 2023
Ginger Jeffries was THE WORST!
carol kelly • June 8, 2023
Hardly…
Lenore Dumas • December 30, 2022
What has happened to Jenny Milkowski gees she wasn’t on KUSI for what 4 months and hasn’t been seen close to a month now!!!
Jimmy Romero • December 3, 2022
I was wondering why I haven’t seen Elizabeth, what a loss, now I wonder about Jenny Milkowski,
Robert Ahshing • January 20, 2023
YUUUUUUUP, goodness!!

I see nothing but bad comments, he’s just a pill 💊 that needs more milk to wash down plus HIGH ENERGY!!
kenneth willis • November 14, 2022
I happen to adore Elizabeth Al erez she was the light 🕯️ that held the darkness accountable. I hope that FOX 5 secured her 💰 bag because I seen where 9 was pushing her out the door for that thing Lauren Plenty lol 😆😂
McKinnon Broadcasting • November 13, 2022
Wasn’t she replaced by K.C. the owner’s granddaughter?
Robert Ahshing • January 20, 2023
YUUUUUUUP, family ran business and ya know what that means!?!
Goodbye well seasoned veteran reporter’s time to put someone on a high pedestal no matter the experience!! Too bad I’ve followed kusi since the 90’s and to hear the stories about the station now 💔
John C. • November 10, 2022
Alvarez is very professional. I found KUSI to become very wearisome with the constant joking around, that Mark Mathis guy who thinks he is the cutest thing on the planet, and the constant emphasis on Prep Pigskin Report (or whatever it is called) which is merely high school football. How many viewers give a heck about high school football? Humbug !
Jason Remington • November 10, 2022
Right, high school football. KUSI is not in Texas, where high school football is still a big thing.
kenneth c willis • November 14, 2022
I second that sediment completely
JRemington • November 14, 2022
Sometimes, you read things that just make you shake your head…
June • December 2, 2022
Sounds like ur jealous of Marc Mathis‼️
Gary Whaley • November 9, 2022
Beautiful and highly competent news personality/reporter, inside and out. Thank you for your service.
Ashley • November 3, 2022
I am glad Elizabeth is back in Fox 5. I will follow her at Fox5, yaay.
I tired of MarkM at KUSI.
Antoinette Roane • November 2, 2022

Justin • October 18, 2022
She is the best there is
Barbara • October 18, 2022
Elizabeth will be missed. Now I’ll be switching between the 2 stations.
Marcos • October 17, 2022
Just want to say I really enjoy watching you every morning with my cup of coffee not because you are Mexicans but for your professionalism o good move to fix 5 you are going to fit just right diverse news anchor kusi puro huero e hueras and they all look a like felicidades.vivs la raza
Jason Remington • October 17, 2022
Racist much, Marco? On one hand you say you enjoy watching her not because she is Mexican, the next breath you say KUSI is too white. You close with a racist remark- Viva La Raza!
You know who else wanted a pure race of his people to endure? Adolf Hitler.
Dave Mason • October 15, 2022
Elizabeth has shown her versatility and attributes that Fox 5, as a network affiliate, can use. She’s a great talent -and a great smile.
Shelley • October 12, 2022
Why did Liz leave KUSI? They offered her anchor jobs, they offered her in the field job, day or night. I’m confused
Jason Remington • October 11, 2022
The plantation mentality is alive among the minorities, and the politicians keep throwing the race card to keep that fervor heightened.
There is no good argument for forced diversity in the news room other than to kowtow to the loud minority that corporate America fears. Blacks are 13% of the population. They are not backed by white politicians, except to get their vote. That goes for Hispanics and Asians as well. Politicians of color got to where they are by hard-work, raising lots of money, kissing ass and sleeping with the right people. The same way white politicians got where they are.
Minorities have been fooled and are fooling themselves to think that the majority of people in America give a damn the color or ethnicity of the newscaster, except that most Americans believe filling quotas in hiring is not the answer. Hiring must be done on the basis of qualified talent. Not simply in order to have a rainbow of minorities at the newsdesk. Hiring quotas are supported by: minorities and the politicians hoping to get the vote of the minorities. Hiring quotas brought us Ryan Yamamoto and Rhonda Lee.
L • October 11, 2022
This is why I stopped watching KUSI, they got rid of all the non white, no diversity at all! It’s a shame. Good for you Elizabeth, I now watch you on Fox 5!
Gary • October 9, 2022
Receiving news without blaming conservatives, especially Trumpers, is a rare breath of fresh air. Elizabeth often tainted her reactions to her news stories with liberal reactions. She drank the cool-aid. If I wanted that kind of propaganda I could turn on MSNBC or CNN.
Cristina • October 6, 2022
It’s about time Liz! KUSI is a one sided news station, notably for trumpers. You deserve better. Best of luck and success to you in your new job!
vicky • October 1, 2022
Best wishes Elizabeth!!! Will watch you on Fox 5.
Bob W. • September 30, 2022
Good! She was sounding too much like Biden! — (S.F.B.)
Jason Remington • September 30, 2022
Stuttering? Senile? Ignorant? Lying? Exactly how like Biden? Stumbling? Brain dead? Incoherent? Off script? Rambling?
Eileen Scanlon • September 27, 2022
WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beatriz gutierrez • September 29, 2022
Because she doesn’t have blond hair and blue eyes!
