Linda Alvarez, a presence in local television news for the last 22 years, will be leaving her current duties at KCBS-TV Channel 2 and KCAL-TV Channel 9 on Sunday.
The 12-time Emmy winner, who became the first Latina to anchor weekday newscasts for an English-language television station in Los Angeles in 1986, joined KCBS as an anchor and reporter in 1993 and has worked for both CBS and KCAL since the stations became a duopoly five years ago, KCBS said Wednesday.
