A Shift in Roles: Krystle's New Schedule
Since late July, Krystle has been replaced on "Today in AZ" by Ginger Jeffries, sparking curiosity and concern among loyal viewers. However, there's no need to worry—Krystle is still very much a part of the 12 News team. She has simply transitioned to a new role within the station. Starting July 29, Krystle began her new position as the dayside meteorologist, meaning you'll now find her delivering the live Weather Impact Forecast every weekday at noon during "NBC News Daily" and at 12 News at 1.
This change was confirmed by Ivan Hernandez, the station’s news director, who shared that Krystle will also be working on specialized weather and environmental journalism, further expanding her role at 12 News. So, while you might miss seeing her first thing in the morning, you'll still be able to catch her insightful and engaging weather reports—just a few hours later in the day.
