Ron Hoon

Ron has been reporting the news to Arizonans for more than four decades. He joined FOX 10, then known as KOOL-TV, in 1982. Today he co-anchors FOX 10 AZAM weekday mornings.

Ron began his TV news career after graduating from the University of Washington in Seattle.  He’d been on the job just a few days when the Mount Saint Helens volcano exploded, covering his city in volcanic ash!

It was quite a start in news reporting, and he hasn’t slowed down since.  He is also the recipient of the Rocky Mountain Emmy’s Silver Circle Award for more than 25 years of service to the broadcasting industry and the community.

He is involved in some of the Valley’s biggest charity events, including the JDRF walk to cure diabetes, and the annual VNSA book sale, which has raised millions for charity.  That event has been going for more than 65 years, and Ron has been part of it for more than half that time.

His love of reading extends to the classroom, and every year he reads to Valley school kids hoping to inspire them to become better readers.

He also teaches a Sunday school class and helps coach his grandson’s youth football team.  

Ron is very active on social media and hopes you’ll join him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.  When he’s not on-air or online, he loves to go hiking, skiing, or working out.  He loves to travel and learn as much as he can about our country’s history.  In fact, he’s been to 49 of the 50 U.S. states.

He and his wife Renae have three kids, and seven grandchildren, and he can’t wait to spend time with them!  Please join Ron and the entire morning news team on FOX 10 AZAM 4:30 to 10AM.
