Channel 5 News is expanding our anchor team.

Morning News Anchor Javier Guerra will soon be joining the 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. newscasts and a new, but very familiar face, will be joining the morning team.

Former Sports Director Joel Villanueva is returning in his new role as morning anchor. He speaks with Channel 5 News' Dina Herrera Garza on coming back to the Rio Grande Valley and what he has been up to since he's been away.

Villanueva starts on the Channel 5 News morning show on Monday, Sept. 22, 2025.
