Carlos Amezcua is an Emmy award winning journalist best known for his sixteen years as the original co-anchor for the KTLA Morning News,[1] with Barbara Beck as his co-anchor,[2] Mark Kriski handling weather and Sam Rubin reporting on the entertainment industry. Airing at 5:00am, the crew became more comfortable with each other and humor crept into the newscasts. Managing executive Steve Bell described the show as, “the first one with the crazy anchors".[3][4] In September 2007, Amezcua left KTLA for KTTV anchoring the 10:00pm newscast,[5] and then founding his own media company, Carlos Media Corp,[6] where he is the co-host of the Carlos & Lisa show (Lisa Remillard) on BEONDTV and KDOC-TV Los Angeles.[7]
