Arthel Helena Neville (born October 20, 1962) is an American journalist, television personality, and weekend anchor for Fox News, based in Manhattan alongside co-anchor Eric Shawn.
She began her career as a general assignment reporter at KVUE-TV while a junior at the University of Texas at Austin School of Journalism, now known as Moody College of Communication.
The first female African-American on-air reporter at KVUE-TV, her general assignment beat took her to the streets of Austin covering live breaking news, politics, education, health, and human-interest stories.
During three years with the program she logged over 200 interviews with Hollywood stars ranging from Will Smith, Tom Cruise and Sharon Stone, to music icons such as David Bowie, Whitney Houston and Sade, becoming the nation's first high-profile black female entertainment reporter.
In 1994 she beat out over 1,000 hopefuls to launch and anchor Extra for Warner Brothers studios, becoming the first African-American woman to host a nationally syndicated entertainment news magazine program.
The hybrid format show presented news of the day and featured live interaction with audience members and guests, in-studio, via satellite, phone, and internet.
In March 2006, she joined the Fox News–produced syndicated news magazine Geraldo at Large as the West Coast bureau chief and correspondent.
On August 1, 2008, Neville became the lead anchor for the Fox 5 Morning News, a four-hour weekday newscast on KSWB-TV in San Diego.
In May 2009, Neville's show Conversations with Arthel Neville, a one-on-one celebrity interview show produced through her company, began airing on My Channel on Sky TV (British Sky Broadcasting), Fox's sister network in the United Kingdom to 9 million homes in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and the Channel Islands, as well as parts of Germany, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, and Italy.
She launched her accessories line Arthel Neville Design, featuring handbags adorned with her quotes promoting female empowerment.
