Chris Salcedo Net Worth – $1.5 million

What is Chris Salcedo’s net worth? Is Chris Salcedo married?

Introduction

Chris Salcedo is a California-born journalist and political analyst who hosts his own self-named show on NewsmaxTV.

The show is also broadcast on Texas radio in Houston and Dallas / Fort Worth.

Salcedo also had the honor of being the last show to lead up to the Rush Limbaugh Show on national radio.

His placement before the famed political commentary powerhouse helped elevate Chris Salcedo’s brand into the mainstream.

The self-titled “Liberty Loving Latino” is a weekday staple on television and radio.

As an advocate for the fair portrayal of the Latino people, he is also the Executive Director of the Conservative Hispanic Society.

The Origin Story

Chris Salcedo was born on January 1, 1963, in San Diego, California.

He graduated from San Diego State University in 1985 with a performing arts degree, and a plan—like many—to become an actor.

While the door to acting might have been closed for now, Salcedo was able to score a job on radio.

Wife

Chris Salcedo is married, and has three grown children—he and his wife live in Washington, D.C. The name of Chris Salcedo’s wife is unknown to the public.

The Climb to the Top

While Chris Salcedo might have set out to get a job in front of the camera, we all have to start somewhere.

He secured a job working radio, and reporting on news and traffic.

From his first broadcasting job, he earned a role as a weather presenter on San Diego’s FOX 6 XETV.

A keen go-getter, Salcedo was always ready to say yes to new opportunities, too—like filling in on the nationally syndicated shows hosted by Glenn Beck, Andrea Tantaros, and Roger Hedgecock.

When it was time to move on from FOX 6, Chris Salcedo had no shortage of good offers.

He took a role at CBS11/TXA21 in Fort Worth, Texas, as a key news anchor.

At the time, CBS11/TXA21 was the fifth largest television market in the United States.

Chris’s face was now recognizable to millions of people across the country.

It made sense for Salcedo and his growing family to take up an offer in Washington D.C. when he was offered the anchor role on America’s Radio News Network.

Dreams Fulfilled

Salcedo was able to fulfill a lifelong dream when he started his own show in 2013—The Chris Salcedo Show.

The Chris Salcedo Show has broadcast live on weekday mornings from Dallas on WBAP, and weekday afternoons in Houston on KSEV since then.

Fans can also catch the show nationwide on The Blaze Radio Network.

Remember those acting dreams Salcedo had early on?

He fulfilled them in 2004 when he took on a role in the hit TV series, Veronica Mars, starring Kristen Bell.

He acted in the hit show from 2004 to 2006, and won a role in the 2010 movie, The Sentimental Engine Slayer.

Eagle eyed fans noticed in March of 2022 that Chris Salcedo had been off air on WBAP.

That month, he announced that he would be leaving the show to focus on his family.

Salcedo had approached the network to ask to be released from his contract.

In the announcement, Salcedo was accompanied by one of the network executives, who heaped praise on the political commentator, host, and radio personality, and wished him the best of luck.

Chris was snatched up by NewsmaxTV to front his Chris Salcedo Show on their network in 2017—and he’s been there ever since.

While he and his family put down roots in the nation’s capital, he also started to build on another one of his biggest dreams.
