Chris Schauble (born 04/07/1976) is the co-anchor of KTLA 5 News from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. on weekdays. Chris lives with his wife and two sets of twin girls in the Los Angeles, California area.

He obtained a Bachelor of Arts in broadcast journalism from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado and was honored by Fort Lewis College with the 2002 “Distinguished Alumni Award.”

He is passionate about his work, family and fitness. He is a triathlete that has competed in three consecutive Ironman competitions, including the famous Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. As a journalist, he has been an instructor for speech communications and media research analysis at Miles College in Birmingham and was a guest Instructor at the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Fla.

He had never needed his foster parents to tell him he was adopted. As the only African-American child growing up with his family, he knew from a tender age that he originally came from other parents but that did not stop from pursuing his dreams and taking care of his family.

He was enlisted to perform Ancestry DNA to help him figure out if he was half African-American and half Italian-American. The results of his test came back with some real surprises. The Ancestry DNA results revealed that Schauble’s ethnic ancestry is 35 percent African and 60 percent European including 15 percent from the Italy region. But the biggest hurdle remaining in Chris' birth is getting his Florida birth records open. He brought his case to a magistrate in the Sunshine State, explaining that he wanted to know more of his family’s medical history, to find out whether his knee problems might stem from a genetic disposition for degenerative arthritis. With such expectation, all he could do was to wait while the judge presiding on the case decides whether Minnie Jenkins, from the Florida Adoption Reunion Registry would be allowed to look at Schauble’s birth records and thereafter contact any of his family members to see if they were open to meeting him.

From circumstance surrounding his birth (as an adoptee kid), Chris has dedicated much of his free time to helping needy children around his neighbourhood. He has been recognized by the city of Los Angeles and the state of California on several occasions for his ongoing community service.

Chris was named “Television Journalist of the Year” by the Colorado Association of black Journalists in 2000, and in 2001 he was also honored as one of Denver’s top 10 history-makers by Urban Spectrum Magazine. He has earned multiple awards, including two Emmy awards and five Golden Mike Awards since moving to LA in 2001. Before moving to Los Angeles for his work, Chris spent most of his time at KCNC-TV in Denver where he covered a quite several national stories. He earned a regional Emmy for spot news for covering the Columbine High School^{[1][2][3][4][5]} shootings which helped the station gain popularity.
