KTHV General Manager Michael Caplan announced this week that Mariel Ruiz will join the “THV11 This Morning” team as meteorologist and co-anchor.

Ruiz joined the station in June of 2016. Prior to that, she served in Midland, Texas as a meteorologist for NewsWest9 and Telemundo. 

Let's see what quotes the creative services department made up for the key players.

“I know Mariel’s excited to help Arkansans get their day started with an accurate and interesting weather forecast.  She’s a great fit with our morning team and we expect Mariel’s commitment to community and weather to make a big impact,” GM Capland supposedly said. 

“I’m a morning person and I love the dynamic of the morning crew. Their energies are contagious! I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue serving Arkansas,” said Ruiz supposedly. 

“Mariel is committed to bringing the THV11 audience her very best work each and every day. She’s passionate about weather, our team at THV11 and all the folks of central Arkansas,” said News Director Dave Parker.

Does anyone really talk like that? 

Just asking...
