Hector Mendoza joined the KTVB family in June 2023 and joined the weather team in July 2023.
Hector graduated from the College of Arts and Humanities at Fresno State University. During his time at Fresno State, he reported and anchored for Fresno State Focus, the university newscast. He was also a sports reporter for the university newspaper, The Collegian, and interned for the Mountain West Network and Fresno State Radio.
After Hector graduated, he made the trek through the redwood curtain and started his journalism career at Redwood News in Eureka, Calif. There, he was a reporter, anchor and producer for the 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts. He also reported, anchored and produced for sports. Aside from that, he helped start a Spanish newscast at Redwood News for both Del Norte and Humboldt Counties.
Hector grew up in the city that brought you George Lucas and Jeremy Renner: Modesto, Calif. When he’s not in the newsroom, Hector is spending quality time with his wife or playing basketball, NBA 2k or watching basketball.
Hector is very excited to be a part of the KTVB family and hopes to help grow KTVB en Español and share engaging stories with our communities in both English and Spanish.
