Made in the 956

From the weather to the food and culture, the Rio Grande Valley is a one-of-a-kind place, but it's the people in the RGV who are making strides here at home and around the world.

Join us each week as Javier Guerra brings you stories of those Made in the 956 — from Valley businessmen and women, to teachers, artists, and so much more.

Made in the 956 airs every Tuesday on Channel 5 News This Morning and Channel 5 News at 5.

Made in the 956 is supported by Bert Ogden Toyota.
