He will also host a weekend talk show on the station.

Gabriel was on air in Minneapolis, MN, and Fargo, ND, before heading west to Fresno where he’s worked in both news-talk and sports.

He’s talented and a team player. We couldn’t ask for more. I can’t wait to hear what the future holds!”

KMJ, which will soon celebrate its 100th year on the air, features the Golden Mike Award-winning news team of Matt Otstot, Liz Kern, Aaron Abeytia along with sports anchor George Takata, traffic anchor Mike Martinez and weather anchor Kimberly Kolliner.
