Cory James Returns to Anchor in Fresno | Fresno News

Cory James is back in Fresno, anchoring morning and midday news at ABC30 after chasing big-city dreams in New York, D.C., and Atlanta — only to realize nothing felt right until he returned home. Inspired by recurring dreams of his old Fulton Street apartment, he’s following in the footsteps of former anchor Warren Armstrong, who also came back for family, friends, and a better quality of life. The move marks a major reshuffle at ABC30: James replaces Jason Oliveira on mornings, while Oliveira takes over evenings from the recently retired Armstrong. The station also welcomed new reporter Grant Johnson. Across town, Fresno’s TV news scene is shifting — KMPH’s Kim Stephens left mornings for Fresno State, and CBS47/KSEE24 are losing anchors, with Luis Cruz rumored as the new evening face. It’s a time of change, movement, and rediscovery as familiar names return or pivot — proving that sometimes, home is where the broadcast really begins.
