    Gina Maravilla, a longtime journalist on Arizona's Family TV stations in Phoenix, will move from reporting on traffic to stepping into a co-host role this summer.

    Darrell J. Cunningham and Suzanne Bissett currently host "Your Life Arizona." Maravilla will take over Bissett's role.

    Maravilla worked her way from intern to reporter and weekend anchor at 3TV in Phoenix to an anchor in Tampa, Florida, before moving back to Arizona to become the traffic anchor for "Good Morning Arizona."

    “I am a proud, longtime resident of Arizona, and as part of the rich legacy and tradition of Arizona’s Family, I am excited to share with our viewers the fantastic lifestyle Arizona has to offer,” Maravilla said in an article on azfamily.com . “Along with Darrell, I am eager to shine a light on all the amazing businesses that call our state home.”

    Who are the hosts of 'Your Life Arizona' on AZFamily?

    Maravilla graduated from Deer Valley High School in Glendale and Arizona State University and was a reporter at 3TV for a decade.

    “I’m so excited to see Gina bring the power of 'Good Morning Arizona' to 'Your Life Arizona,'” Debbie Bush, vice president and general manager of Arizona’s Family, said in an article on azfamily.com .

    “Gina was a natural to fill this role. She has a vast knowledge of the Valley and state of Arizona and is so passionate about storytelling. We are excited to see her connect with a whole new audience.”

    What's next for AZFamily's Suzanne Bissett?

    For fans of Bissett, AZFamily provided this statement from her:

    “I am so grateful to 3TV for giving me a launching pad for my broadcast career. After working at the station for more than 20 years as a news reporter and now host of 'Your Life Arizona,' I decided now is the time to explore my next chapter," Bissett said.

    "I will be creating original content, and I am working to bring a few of my ideas to the production phase very soon. More to come!

    "For now, I want to thank 3TV and all of my family at the station, as well as the viewers who have followed along with me. From marriage and having children, to battling breast cancer, their support has meant everything. The show is in incredible hands with Darrell and Gina, and I can’t wait to watch the new magic they create!”
