Ch. 13 Reporter Christine Dobbyn is leaving the Houston ABC O&O Station after nearly 14 years... According to mikemcguff.com & the Houston Chronicle, Dobbyn said on Twitter that she's hanging up "my reporting cleats" to pursue a new chapter in life. From what McGuff heard, Dobbyn's "new chapter in life" doesn't include the TV Biz. Plus in her LinkedIn profile, she's in the middle of getting a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the Rice University's Jones Graduate School of Business. Dobbyn has been with Ch. 13 since 2005 & before she came to Houston, she was Reporter & back-up Anchor at WBNS-TV Columbus, OH. She got her start in the TV Biz at WEHT-TV Evansville, IN, where Dobbyn worked as Reporter & back-up Anchor. She also made it to the finals of Miss IN; also held titles like Indianapolis 500 Princess & Miss Heart of IN. Graduating from Ball State University, Dobbyn was named "Graduate of the Last Decade" in 1999 & also graduated from Poytner Institute & spent 2 weeks in Europe after being selected for the RTDNA-RIAS German Journalist Exchange Program. https://www.facebook.com/ABC13ChristineDobbyn/ https://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2019/03/christine-dobbyn-to-leave-abc13-ktrk.html Thoughts on Dobbyn leaving Ch. 13 ?

Ladies & Gentlemen.... guess who's BACK BABY: the legendary Ch. 13-ista Dave Ward.... He's returning to the ABC O&O Station & launching a new segment with Ch. 13 called "Dave Ward's Houston", the weekly feature, which launches in September, will be taking a look back each week at a topic in Bayou City history that even natives like myself might not be familiar with. "I have thought about doing this for quite some time & mainly because there are whole generations of young people in Houston who aren't aware of some of the history of this great city & how we got here & how we grew & what the future looks like," Ward told mikemcguff.com. http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2018/08/dave-wards-houston-to-launch-on-abc13.html http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2018/08/abc13-and-anchor-emeritus-dave-ward.html Please comment & give your thoughts on Ward's new segment! Very much appreciate it.

Looks like the Ch. 13 Eyewitness News 10:00 PM Newscast has gotten a little lighter in the load.... After 5 years doing the 10:00 PM Newscast, Carson decided to cut back on her heavy schedule.... Now according to Mike McGuff of mikemcguff.com., he's been getting viewer emails & tips that Carson had left the 10:00 PM Newscast & found out Carson had posted this back in early September. However, you'll still get to see Carson on the 4:00 PM & 6:30 PM Newscasts though. http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2018/11/why-ilona-carson-is-no-longer-on-10pm.html https://www.facebook.com/ABC13IlonaCarson/posts/19161403405088954 Thoughts on this move ?

Sad news to report to everyone: former Ch. 13 Chief Meteorologist Ed Brandon passed away peacefully in his sleep last night. He first joined Ch. 13 in 1972 after doing radio stints in Austin, Longview & his native Texarkana. Brandon continued serving as the Chief Meteorologist until the early Spring of 1989, when he checked into rehab for substance abuse issues: following this, the ABC O&O Station hired Joe Diaz from Albuquerque, NM to serve as the Chief Meteorologist until Ch. 13 rehired Brandon back in 1990, where he continued until his retirement in May of 2007. In 2002, Ch. 13 hired Tim Heller to become the Chief Meteorologist for the Live at 5 & 10:00 PM Newscasts & moved Brandon to the 6:00 PM Newscasts only. https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Former-Houston-TV-weatherman-Ed-Brandon-has-died-13174302.php https://abc13.com/society/tv-weather-icon-ed-brandon-remembered-by-friends-at-abc13/4029443/ Deep condolences going to his family & friends including colleagues at Ch. 13.
