Ryan Wolf is a news anchor for FOX29 News at 9pm.  If you ever watch reality TV shows back in the 90's you have seen a young Ryan Wolf on a FOX reality show, "Bootcamp."  Ryan came in second!

 

Ryan's first TV job after winning in his reality show appearance was in Louisiana.  He took that job because the news director said his parents could watch him online.  It wasn't long before he had another opportunity to move up. His next move was to the Rio Grande Valley to work for KGBT in Harlingen, Texas.  There he worked his way up to main news anchor.

 

While at KGBT he developed a "restaurant rating segment" that had a touch of reality TV and humor mixed in.  It was a great hit.  His next move was to KABB in San Antonio where his "Cash for Kindness" segment is also a big winner for the station.
