Well, let just say how can a person be up so early and have an outgoing personality at 4:30am? As this is how KPRC morning anchor Owen Conflenti brings out the charm, who manages his confidence and good sense of humor on-air and even likes to joke around with his buddy- meteorologist Anthony Yanez on weekday mornings. When many others are still sleeping in, others who are up will say that he’s our go-to guy. A lot of people will describe him as a fun guy and full of life and energy and really great to hang out with.
As his work colleague, Anthony Yanez, replied, “It is fun working with him because he always makes it feel like not working at all. He is really smart and has great jokes and is also aware of what’s going on around the world and has something to add.”
So, any who doesn’t know who is Owen Conflenti. He joined 2005 as a morning anchor at 4:30-7am each weekday mornings. Before his move he came from Greenville, N.C., where he was a weekend anchor and reporter at WNCT-TV. He also enjoy listening to everyone and have a great way to start a conversation. John, a UHD sophomore told me that while watching him in the morning gave him a reason to wake up with his quirkiness and how he address the news in a totally different from other stations. It make him feel positive when he heads to school or work. John is not the only as ten different viewers, men and women commented that they both agree when they watch the morning news to get updates on news, weather and traffic, they enjoy how Owen get along with Anthony, Rachel and Jennifer. With the chemistry he gives on-air and off how much he show the community by supporting different organization and also getting to communicate with viewers on social networks or at public events.
“Try to relax and focus. It’s not easy but you must try as you find the strength somewhere inside you,” Conflenti said that to a viewer who was struggling for an exam.
He sometimes have a great way to help people with his advice. As helping with the community with his two work colleagues, Andy Cerota and Anthony Yanez had joined the BP MS 150 bike ride from Houston to Austin last year to spread the word on the multiple sclerosis movement and they’re doing it again this year as they want to help the National MS Society fund research, advocate for change, and help people with MS and their families lead powerful lives. As they believe in the work they do and want to be part of it.
His advice to journalist student have given many students by saying, “ to start practicing of finding something a reporter said on camera and memorize it, and then ask a friend or family to record it. As you can watch it back and record it again.”
He always have a positive things to say to make the other persons feel good about themselves as a great role model to anyone as he just adopted a puppy from the Houston Humane Society.
