In light of the constant battle over the voter-approved Proposition B from last fall, which Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner (D) is fighting to nullify & dismantle as well as the Turner administration's war on the HFD Firefighters Union & the Houston Fire Department, will this doom his reelection campaign this fall ? https://abc13.com/politics/in-wake-of-prop-b-way-forward-still-not-clear/5311376/ https://www.click2houston.com/news/houston-firefighters-union-to-discuss-prop-b-developments https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Turner-rejects-fire-union-request-to-take-13868295.php

ABC 12 KSAT-TV San Antonio's Bill Barajas will be joining NBC 2 KPRC-TV Houston & according to Mike McGuff of mikemguff.com., Barajas will be a reporter. "In what might be the worst kept secret I'm happy to announce that after almost 9 years, I'm going HOME," Barajas wrote over the weekend. "I have accepted a job at KPRC Channel 2 in Houston. I have one week left at KSAT & while I'm beyond excited to start the new gig I will forever love SA & the friends/co-workers that have become like a family to me." He's also the son of former FOX 26 KRIV-TV Houston News Anchor Mike Barajas. "Bill is a graduate of the University of Houston just like his old man & he is following in the broadcasting footsteps," Mike Barajas told mikemcguff.com back in 2013 when Bill Barajas started at KSAT 12. His cousin is also Ch. 13 KTRK-TV Houston News Anchor Erik Barajas. "Erik worked at KSAT before moving up to KTRK," Bill Barajas told mikemcguff.com in 2013. "He always talked about the first rate station that they run there." In reality, the Barajas clan is now playing catchup in the Houston TV News dynasty world. While Erik & Bill are now working for Ch. 13 & NBC 2 respectively, both of these stations also employ Rascon's. https://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2019/05/bill-barajas-kprc-2.html

I have a question, who was the person that swore in Shivers as the 37th Governor ?

Good afternoon HAIF bloggers. Unless some of y'all have been living under a rock or a secret beach retreat in the West Coast, Ch. 13 brought in Brheanna Berry to join the ABC O&O Station back in early February. She came from News 3 WTKR-TV Norfolk, VA (she had been there since August of 2017). Plus Berry worked with KELO-TV Sioux Falls, SD as the Morning Anchor/Reporter from March 2016 to 2017; she was also the station's heathbeat reporter. She began her TV News career at KLFY-TV News 10 Lafayette, LA as the Weekend Anchor/Reporter/Multimedia Journalist from November 2014 to March 2016. Berry graduated from James Madison University with a broadcasting degree & also served in the VA Army National Guard as well as the LA Army National Guard. https://abc13.com/about/newsteam/brhe-berry https://www.facebook.com/ABC13brheberry Let me know your thoughts on Berry at Ch. 13 & how do you think she'll do here in Houston's ABC O&O Station ?

Thank you very much for giving us full detail on Jester's funeral services. I read that when the public viewing was held inside the TX State Senate Chamber of the TX State Capitol, they had an open casket with the flag-draped US flag draped on it.

What are these allegations I'm hearing about Governor Jester died in the company of his mistress ? I've never read any of those details anywhere at all. Whoever was spreading those allegations must be from FAKE NEWS.

Look who's joining the CBS Houston TEGNA Station..... Erika Lopez, who had been the ABC 24 News (KVUE-TV Austin) Morning Meteorologist since February 2017; before that she worked with Weather Nation TV in Denver, CO & also KAVU-TV Victoria. https://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2019/04/erika-lopez-khou-11.html https://www.facebook.com/ErikaLopezMeteorologist/ Looks like she'll be replacing the recently ousted Brooks Garner. Thoughts on this development ?

It wouldn't surprise me if the hostility against her continues to escalate.

Here's some pictures from Ch. 13's 6:00 PM Newscast on December 22nd, 1982. Here's another from Ch. 13's 6:00 PM Newscast from sometime in the Spring or Summer of 1983.

Good afternoon everyone in the HAIF Family. I'm assuming some of y'all have heard about this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/03/27/this-is-not-mexico-texas-official-criticizes-judge-speaking-spanish https://www.newsweek.com/speak-english-not-mexico-county-commissioner-tells-county-judge-texas-1376411 Want to know everyone's thoughts on this controversy.

Ch. 13 used several different virtual studio sets: Fall 1982 to Fall 1983: 1st virtual studio set with the sunset background behind the downtown skyline (which was the case during their 6:00 PM Newscasts). Fall 1983 to Spring 1985: 2nd virtual studio set. Spring 1985 to mid-May 1986: 3rd virtual studio set with the expanded downtown skyline. Mid-May 1986 to October 1992: 4th virtual studio set with the well-known downtown skyline. I noticed Greenway Plaza was NOT included.

Good afternoon everyone. Looks like Josh Innes has once again found another way to SCREW UP another opportunity, this time with IHeartRadio's KMBE-AM 790: when management informed Innes, fiancé Jill Osterman & producer Jim Mudd that their services would no longer be needed after last Wednesday's show. https://www.chron.com/sports/article/Josh-Innes-his-side-sportstalk-790-Houston-radio-13698238.php https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/texas-sports-nation/general/article/On-TV-Radio-Josh-Innes-hyped-Houston-return-136898238.php https://joshinnesshow.com/podcasts/ Let me know your thoughts on Innes getting the boot from SportsTalk 790 ?

Let us know how that went...

moo! We both know Astroworld is NOT coming back to Houston ever.

Haven't heard any new developments lately.
