Frances Rivera

Philippines-born Frances Rivera moved to Austin, TX with her family when she was three years old. She had an interest in pursuing her heritage, so she traveled back to the Philippines to attend university and graduated with a degree in journalism.

After a number of positions with both CBS and NBC affiliates, Rivera received the opportunity of a lifetime – a chance to anchor several shows on MSNBC. She began her contract in 2014 and has actively improved ratings since.
