Texas TV newswoman Rachel Fackler

Rachel Fackler is one of the unsung heroines of broadcast journalism. She works at KETK-TV, an NBC affiliate operating on a UHF channel in Tyler, Texas, a small city a hundred miles east of Dallas.  She's also worked at KFXK-TV in Tyler, a Fox-affiliated sister station to KETK-TV. 


She started out as an intern at KETK and became a reporter in January 2013.  By July of that year,  she became a host of KFXK's morning program.

Ms. Fackler joined the morning news staff at KOB-TV in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she spent two years beginning in 2015 but returned to eastern Texas to get married.  Her husband. Kyle Roberts, is a weatherman at WFAA, the ABC affiliate in Dallas.

Rachel worked as a freelance reporter for KTVT, the CBS affiliate in Dallas, but she's returned to Tyler to work as a fill-in anchor at KETK.

Mary Richards may have had spunk, but Rachel Fackler has pluck. :-)
