Where is Javier Soto? Here's what fans of the 'Good Morning Arizona' anchor should know
Update: Javier Soto left Arizona's Family TV stations. He joined ABC 15 in June..
Javier Soto, the popular co-anchor of “Good Morning Arizona” on Arizona’s Family stations, is leaving.
“Javier has decided to leave us for another opportunity,” Debbie Bush, the vice president and general manager at Arizona’s Family, said in an email to The Arizona Republic. “He has been with Arizona’s Family for a long time, and we wish him nothing but the best.”
Soto declined to comment about his exit or what the new opportunity is.
He has been with the stations for a long time — he has worked there since November 2004.
Soto's departure is the latest of many for Arizona’s Family stations, composed of Channels 3 and 5, both owned by Atlanta-based Gray Television, in Phoenix.
These include the firing of Kris Pickel in April, and popular anchor Brandon Lee leaving in 2021, after he had returned to the stations following a previous exit, among others.
