Georgie56 3059 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 KATU is not airing morning and afternoon news today so their staff can attend a mental health event. Their 11pm news will air as scheduled. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any evidence of this happening company-wide. KATU is re-running some locally-produced specials from earlier in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 With Dean Stephens hanging it up in SC Low Country, so is Dominique Sachse. Dominique is leaving Houston's KPRC Channel 2 (NBC) after 28 years at the top-rated NBC station. Sachse will be singing off on October 29th at 6pm. No word on who will succeed Dominque in the evening newscasts. https://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2021/09/dominique-sachse-to-leave-kprc-2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggo 340 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 More Houston TV news … 5p anchor Art Rascon is retiring from KTRK at the end of the year. His replacement will be … his son, Jacob Rascon. Jacob recently left KPRC, where he had been co-anchoring weekend mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
News Fan 11 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 It seems Amanda Barren has left WSAZ. She has been off the air for almost 2 weeks and her bio has been taken off the website. Big loss for ‘SAZ if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Rascon is retiring and his son Jacob will step in his dad shoes next year. Then others are leaving such as Marla Carter and the exit of Cory McGinnis. Then over at KPRC the face of the station Dominique Sachse is leaving in October. This is a major news, because she been with the station for a long time. WOW! What going on at KTRK? I wonder what has Dominique wanting to leave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1289 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 While it was shocking to hear them announce it today, I’m not completely shocked to hear their departures. Art has scaled back his work on the station and gave up the 6pm to work the 11am and 5pm. I thought he was a shoe-in to replace Dave Ward. Dominique has been growing her presence heavily as a social media influencer. It was a matter of time before they made her choose one or another.

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Folks, despite the departures of two of Houston's popular anchors, a Southeast Texas news anchor has relocated to Southern New England. Remember Tiffany Murphy left Beaumont's KFDM 6 News earlier this month, we now where she's landed. Tiffany is now at Providence's ABC 6 (WLNE) as the stations 4, 5, 6, and 11pm anchor.

SFTV 484 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Amanda Starrantino recently left WRTV and heads west to KPIX as Morning and Noon anchor.

Also I understand privacy concerns and all that, but you'd have to think he's re-paying his contract because he held back he wasn't compliant with their policy coming in the door and they had to waste all that money promoting him and now are starting at square one after a month. Meanwhile Chris Berg reading that 'back story'...insufferable Al Bundy/past glory vibes . I'm sure he won't be missed at Gray, and the radio industry thanks that company for being blunt with their policies so the immuno-compromised know they need not apply there.

To Chris' credit, for full disclosure and to be fair, The Forum's parent company (Forum Comm.) owns KVLY's competitor WDAY/ABC. Of course they're going to spin this to make anyone at KVLY look worse than they really are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems old-timers are the most resistant, perhaps older journalists are much more conservative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
