Corey Rangel Leaving KMTV For Phoenix

Corey Rangel, courtesy of Action3News.comKMTV (Cox Channel 5) reporter Corey Rangel is headed to Phoenix's ABC affiliate, KNXV, to be a general assignment reporter.

Rangel has worked at KMTV since February of 2005. His last day at the station is Friday.

Good for Corey. He's a great reporter and that's a good promotion for him.

Corey was good though he seemed pretty low key. I guess a couple of his overbearing reporter colleagues at 3rd should take note.

Good for you Corey. I remember seeing you in Topeka, Kansas at the NBC station and was surprised to see you here after moving here. You've come a long way and you're just getting better. Best of luck!

Didn't know Corey that well, but I worked for a while with Flans. HE will be missed...one of the most creative photogs I have known.

I hear channel 3 asked Corey to be more like Dave Roberts...You know more action...Make things bigger then they really are...That's channel 3...But he stuck to his guns and decided to move on...

Good for him...He's the best and nicest reporter they had...And big loss for Channel 3... Maybe that's why they're slipping in the ratings.

Channel 3...or action 3 if that's what they want to be... is lower than KPTM now... Not only in ratings...but the way they treat their employees

"Slipping in ratings?" Did they EVER have ratings?

I believe Chriss Knight from Channel 8 in Lincoln is taking his place. Good luck Corey!

Corey will be sorely missed, I'm sure. He's a great guy and KMTV's loss is Phoenix's gain.

Wow action 3 loses their best reporter... I can't stand watching dave roberts and the rest of the action gang...I would much rather watch fox 42 and their reporters now...Action 3 fired their great anchors...and now their best reporter...Good Luck Corey.

WE DIDNT THINK THOSE WERE GREAT ANCHORS AT CHANNEL 3...THOSE 2 GREAT ANCHORS WERE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH CHANNEL 3!....AT LEAST THATS WHY I COULDNT STAND TO WATCH CHANNEL 3 NEWS FOR THE PAST 5 YRS!

The Action 3 has Joe Jordan, Matt Segal, and Kerri Stowell. I'd say Matt and Kerri are very, very good at what they do and Omaha is lucky to have them. Other than that...ugh. The two new anchors blow.

Chriss Knight is replacing Corey Rangel on June 20th. Her last day at Channel 8 is June 15.

Chriss Knight is a great replacement. I live in Lincoln and watch Chriss on Channel 8. She's a solid reporter, not to mention a true beauty. I hate to see her leave the Lincoln market, but I'm glad she will be in Omaha.

My wife looked her up on MySpace. For some reason she put some footage of her anchoring...not a good idea, it wasn't good at all! I do hear she is a good reporter though. Pretty soon all the Action 3 reporters will be female. Watch out Joe Jordan!

You must be the same person that said Nathan Moore was hot in the "Severe Storm Special" blog!

6:26pm - Nope. Nathan's my fantasy man. Someone else thinks Chriss Knight is hot. Sorry, not bisexual here.

However, did take a look at Chriss' bio on KLKN's web site (http://www.klkntv.com/Global/story.asp?S=4007030&nav=menu96_2). I guess she looks okay.
