Erika Arias Fox 61
Arias is an Emmy-award nominated anchor for FOX61, anchoring The FOX61 Morning News weekdays from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. She joined FOX61 in 2008 and anchored the 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts before joining Connecticut’s only “All Local All Morning” news team.
Arias got her big break into television news at WPRI-TV in Providence, R.I. After just a few months on the job. She found herself covering one of the biggest breaking news stories in New England: the Station nightclub fire in West Warwick, R.I. After reporting live through the night of the blaze, she was the only local reporter to interview a nightclub survivor, live from inside the hospital. Arias received an Emmy award for her part in the station’s news coverage.
She then moved west to the bright lights of Las Vegas, where she covered the capture of “the Ohio sniper,” the Ted Binion murder re-trial, and the Bellagio blackout. While in Las Vegas, she also interviewed several celebrities like Robert Redford, Nikki Hilton, Anna Nicole Smith, and Kobe Bryant. In addition, she also had the opportunity to appear on the big screen, in the movie “Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous” in “Sin City.” The role wasn’t much of a stretch though, as she portrayed a local news anchor.
Then came another move, this time further west to Southern California. Arias took a break from the news biz — but she couldn’t stay away completely. In Los Angeles, Arias was a freelance correspondent for the Fox News Channel, where she reported on entertainment events, including “American Idol.” She also provided coverage, interviews, and live reports for FOX stations across the country, including Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, and Washington D.C.
In 2010, Arias was nominated for a New England Emmy award for news anchoring. She is also a member of the Asian American Journalists Association and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
In her free time, Arias likes to cook, and do Pilates and loves to just relax at home with her family and friends.
