Meet the CGN Los Angeles affiliate team covering local news, weather, and sports. Reporter photo slots use media placeholder lookup by name slug and fall back to the CGN logo until final portraits are added.
Beats: Local news, city government, entertainment economy, transportation, wildfire policy, housing, Southern California communities
Elena Park is the Editor for CGN Los Angeles, directing affiliate coverage across the city, the Valley, the Westside, South L.A., Hollywood, Long Beach, Pasadena, and the broader Southern California region. Born in Koreatown and educated at UCLA, Elena covers the intersection of local government, housing, transportation, entertainment, immigration, wildfire planning, and everyday cost-of-living pressure. She is especially interested in how city policy lands differently across neighborhoods separated by only a few freeway exits. Elena keeps a running list of the best late-night taco stands near public meetings and believes every L.A. story needs a traffic plan.
Beats: Coastal weather, marine layer, heat, Santa Ana winds, wildfire weather, rain events, mudslide risk, air quality
Mateo Reyes is the Meteorologist for CGN Los Angeles, covering coastal weather, valley heat, Santa Ana winds, wildfire risk, heavy rain events, mudslides, marine layer shifts, and air-quality impacts. Born in East Los Angeles and educated at Cal State LA, Mateo learned early that weather in Southern California is never as simple as one forecast for one city. He explains microclimates, mountain winds, beach conditions, and emergency risks in clear language for commuters, families, students, and outdoor workers. Mateo surfs badly but enthusiastically, and he judges forecasts by whether they help people decide what to pack before sunrise.
Beats: Dodgers, Lakers, Clippers, Rams, Chargers, Kings, Galaxy, LAFC, UCLA, USC, Loyola Marymount, Long Beach State
Tasha Moreno runs the CGN Los Angeles Sports Desk, covering a crowded sports market where championship expectations, celebrity culture, college rivalries, and neighborhood loyalty all collide. Born in Inglewood and educated at the University of Southern California, Tasha follows the Dodgers, Lakers, Clippers, Rams, Chargers, Kings, Galaxy, LAFC, UCLA, USC, Loyola Marymount, and Long Beach State. Her reporting looks beyond scores to fan identity, stadium districts, athletes as business figures, and the pressure of playing in Los Angeles. Tasha keeps old ticket stubs in a shoebox and insists the best sports stories usually happen before tipoff.
