Your A-List: Best Morning News Anchor/Team
When you wake up in the morning, you want to be greeted by a television personality with whom you can connect, someone who feels like a friend or part of the extended family. In a competitive market with several familiar faces, it is with distinction then that Univision 62’s recent addition Leslie Montoya, host of “Despierta Austin” (“Wake Up Austin”) has earned the top spot in the Your A-List poll for Best Morning News Team/Anchor.
One of Ms. Montoya’s already loyal viewers shared her opinion of the broadcaster with us via email: “I love Leslie. I think she’s very articulate and her enthusiasm is contagious, and we really like when she’s on the air.”

Fred Cantu in second place? This guy reads the news with all the gusto of Captain Kangaroo or Mr. Rogers. Fred, you’re putting us back to sleep. We’re trying to wake up. Joe Bickett, Fox 7, is the only way to fly in the mornings.
