Alice Rios

 Alice Rios  Alice co-anchors the KRLD Morning News, from 5-10a weekdays, with Mike Rogers and Scott Sams.
Alice began working in radio while attending Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches. She worked first as a music jock, then as a reporter at KJCS in East Texas. From there she multi-tasked at  KTSR/WTAW in Bryan College Station as the sole reporter/news anchor.

As a 20-year member of the KRLD News team,  over the years she’s been honored with  “Best Anchor Team” , “Best Spot News”  and “Breaking News” awards.   Alice serves on the Board of the Recovery Resource Council based in Fort Worth.  Among the numerous historic events she’s covered while at KRLD, Alice was actually sitting at the desk in the newsroom the day David Koresh of the Branch Davidians phoned in from the Waco compound. She reported on the Shuttle Columbia tragedy over East Texas, as well as the events of 9-11.

Alice’s truest passions are the two men in her life.  First, she is the mom of an incredibly active teenage athlete, Lee…who plays football, and baseball in the Keller ISD.  GO FOSSIL RIDGE PANTHERS!  Alice’s husband Brian is a special-ed middle school teacher in DFW.

In her spare time, Alice is on the sidelines of most of her son’s games, plays softball, stays active in her church…Fossil Creek Community AG, and loves to travel -whatever the destination. She also enjoys the nightlife in Sundance Square as well as the rejuvenated Montgomery Building scene, west of downtown Fort Worth.
