Morning Anchor Raul Martinez joined NBC10 Boston and NECN in May of 2016.
He was born and raised in El Paso, Texas and got his undergraduate degree in journalism at TCU. Syracuse University was his next stop, where he received his Master's degree in broadcast journalism.
Raul's search for his first job as a sports journalist led him back to his hometown. He started at KVIA back in 2004 as a weekend sports anchor. One year later, he was named Sports Director at the age of 24.
He left El Paso after seven years and joined KDVR/KWGN in Denver as the weekend sports anchor and spent four years in the Mile High City where he covered two Super Bowls.
Since coming to Boston, Raul has been a busy man. As Sports Director, he covered three Patriots Super Bowl appearances (2 titles), a 2018 World Series title from the Red Sox, a Stanley Cup Final appearance by the Bruins and the Celtics going to two Eastern Conference Finals. He moved from sports to the morning shows in 2022.
He and his wife have two daughters and son who was recently born in Boston.
