ABCD is pleased to welcome FOX 25 anchor Maria Stephanos and FOX 25 reporter Keba Arnold as emcees for the 2009 ABCD Community Awards Dinner! 

Maria anchors FOX25 News at 6:00, 10:00 and 11:00.  Maria has been with FOX25 since 1997.  She began as a general assignment reporter and later added fill-in anchor duties to her workload. 

Maria’s connection with New Englanders goes beyond delivering the day’s news.  She’s an avid supporter of many charitable organizations including ABCD, The Massachusetts Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, The American Cancer Society and The Make-A-Wish Foundation. 

Maria came to FOX25 from WJAR-TV in Providence, RI where she covered spot news.  Her career also includes reporting for WCBS radio, WABC radio, NPR radio and WNBC radio.

Maria holds a master’s degree in Mass Communications from Emerson College.

Keba Arnold joined FOX25 as a general assignment reporter in March 2007.  She came to us from the west coast where she was a reporter in Sacramento, California. Keba began her career at the ABC affiliate in Waco, Texas.  

Keba is proud to be on the FOX25 Morning News covering one of the most exciting cities in the country!  She grew up in Southern California and graduated with honors from The University of Georgia.  Keba’s reporting has been recognized with a ‘Media Honor Roll’ award from the Texas Association of School Boards.
