FOX 5 DC has announced the appointment of Chad Ricardo as its new Sports and Entertainment Anchor.
As reported by DCRTV, Ricardo will continue to host shows such as LOUD AF, Friday Night Lights, and Game Time. In addition to his current responsibilities, he will expand his role to include entertainment reporting and will take on a more significant presence on Fox Local, contributing to programs like NFC Beast, which is produced in collaboration with FOX stations in New York, Philadelphia, and Dallas.
Ricardo has been with FOX 5 As a freelance reporter/anchor since 2022. A graduate of James Madison University, for the last 10 years Ricardo says he has used his platform to uplift athletes of the DMV. “By building my own brand, The Ricardo Report, I’ve specialized in showcasing youth and high school sports, creating organic connections throughout the region.” Ricardo writes in his FOX5 bio.
Ricardo shares that he has made it a priority to cover today’s stars before the masses knew their names, citing interviews with Heisman trophy winner and Gonzaga College High School alum, Caleb Williams, DeMatha Catholic alum, Chase Young of the New Orleans Saints, and St. Frances’ Blake Corum, of the Los Angeles Rams.
