KPHO/KTVK weekend morning Anchor Monica Garcia has left Arizona’s Family.

She posted a picture of her backside and said that she was “breaking up with the news.”

“I would say the (news) industry is like an intimate relationship,” Garcia, who came to the stations in 2019, told The Arizona Republic. “You give it all, but it doesn’t give the same back, and then you realize you’re not getting back what you’re giving. … I’m at the point in my life where I no longer need this relationship to define me. As a natural storyteller, I’ve decided to turn the page.”

The advantages of TV were no longer worth it, Garcia said.

“Sure the exposure is there, but there comes a time when a lot of us are ready to come into financial compensation for the hard work we do,” she said. “That’s sometimes not there. You feel like a cog in a wheel, basically.”

And that my friends is the biggest problem in TV news. No, not the low pay, although that is certainly a problem.

The problem is that people get into TV news for “the exposure.”

Garcia basically admits it was about “being on TV.”

The job is supposed to be about Journalism, not exposure.

I’ll be honest here, the business is better without Monica Garcia in it.

I really do wish her well in her next adventure outside of TV news.
