Stephanie Valle, main co-anchor
In January of 2020, Stephanie Valle assumed the role as main co-anchor of ABC-7 at 5, 6 and 10, taking the reins from the longtime anchor Estela Casas.
Stephanie has come a long way from starting as an unpaid intern in 2001. She worked as a general assignments reporter and weekend morning, then evening, anchor until 2008; she then transitioned to morning reporter and ABC-7 at Noon anchor/producer until 2014. Stephanie stepped into her next role as co-anchor of the top-rated Good Morning El Paso in 2015 and eventually became the newscast's Executive Producer until 2019, when she was named News Operations Manager and ABC-7 at 4 anchor.
Stephanie has covered an array of news in the Borderland -- from numerous presidential tours of El Paso, to Pope Francis' visit to Juarez, to capital murder investigations and trials. In 2019, Stephanie launched the Borderland Crimes podcast. Each episode profiles a high-profile case that occurred in the El Paso-Las Cruces region.
Various journalism organizations recognized Stephanie's anchoring, reporting and podcasting. She won the 2022 RTDNA Regional Edward R. Murrow Award for Best Podcast. The Texas Associated Press Broadcasters awarded her Best Series for her in-depth reporting on opioid-dependent newborns in 2017. That same year, the TAPB (now Texas Association of Broadcasters) recognized Stephanie and the entire Good Morning El Paso team with the Best Morning Newscast Award.
The El Paso community has repeatedly named Stephanie both as best anchor and best reporter in the El Paso Times, The City Magazine and El Paso Inc's lifestyle magazine What's Up.
Stephanie has two children, she serves on the board for Candlelighters, an organization dedicated to serving children with cancer and their families, and in her (very little) free time, enjoys working out, long walks or hikes and traveling.
