Chris Peralta

Hello! I am a bilingual newsroom and editorial leader with ten years of experience in local and national newsrooms. I am currently an Executive Producer at LiveNOW from FOX, a national live streaming news channel operated by FOX Television Stations.

Over the past decade, I have honed my expertise in content strategy, project management, and leadership. My background includes leading cross-functional teams to execute daily newscasts and live breaking news coverage. Beyond the newsroom, I have managed complex operations – overseeing everything from staffing and performance evaluations, to developing vendor relations, to managing fleet readiness.

I am also an AI/ML practitioner, having completed the Post Graduate Program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from the University of Texas McCombs School of Business and Great Learning in late 2025. This program equipped me with a deep understanding of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Neural Networks, and Computer Vision – to solve real-world challenges.
