Giselle Fernandez is about to reset her alarm clock. Los Angeles' Spectrum News 1 is about to announce that the news veteran will host a new three-hour weekday program on Los Angeles' Spectrum News 1 called "The Rush Hour" beginning August 19.

Fernandez’s move to the afternoon is part of an anchor shift at the local cable news station. Fernandez previously hosted “Your Morning on Spectrum News 1”; now those duties will be handled by Kelvin Washington, who is moving from the afternoon. “Your Afternoon on Spectrum News 1” will be taken over by anchor Amrit Singh, who will also continue to host the political interview show “Inside the Issues.”
