Palm Desert's Christina Pascucci Moves To KTLA

Many getting up early in the Coachella Valley have been wondering where KMIR's morning co-anchor Christina Pascucci has gone.

Pascucci recently left the Palm Desert-based NBC affiliate for a reporting position at KTLA. She signed off from Channel 6 in January with a video that included a blooper reel and an emotional Pascucci thanking her co-workers and viewers.

"You at home, whether you sent me a Facebook message, stopped me on the street or just let me into your home every morning, your comments, support and love has been so profoundly touching," Pascucci said on the air.

In an , Pascucci said that she loves her life in Palm Desert.

"I think there is an unparalleled desire to help others in the Coachella Valley and I've seen this in my Palm Desert Rotary Club participation,'' she said. "People will really go out of their way to do nice things for others here and I love that."
