Marc Martinez
Marc Martinez anchors weekday editions of FOX 10 News at 4 p.m., 5 p.m., and 9 p.m., and co-hosts FOX 10 Talks on linear and streaming platforms.
An Emmy Award-winning journalist, Marc joined FOX 10 in June 2002 after anchoring and reporting in Fresno, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada.
Over nearly a quarter-century in Phoenix, Marc has been on the front lines covering Arizona’s biggest stories, from major statewide wildfires and pivotal elections to covering Super Bowl XLII (2008) and Super Bowl XLIX (2015) when the big game came to the Valley. His reporting has also taken him across the country, including on-the-ground national coverage in Houston following Hurricane Harvey.
A self-described "space junkie," Marc counts several unforgettable moments among the stars as career highlights. At just 18 years old while working as a TV news intern, he interviewed Apollo 17 commander Gene Cernan, the last person to walk on the Moon. In 1998, Marc became the only journalist allowed aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis while the orbiter was undergoing a retrofit in Palmdale, California—an experience that included sitting in the commander’s seat and remains one of the ultimate thrills of his broadcast career.
Marc won a Regional Emmy Award in 2017 and has earned multiple Emmy nominations throughout his career. His journalism and breaking news coverage have also been repeatedly recognized by the Associated Press and the Electronic Media Awards.
Marc graduated with honors from Washington State University in 1995, earning degrees in journalism and political science. Away from the anchor desk, he enjoys traveling, reading, working out, and spending time with his family.
