Mike McGuff of mikemcguff.com is reporting that after 22 years with the ABC O&O Station, sports anchor Bob Slovak (whom I strongly felt was wrongly passed over for the Sports Director job a few years back) is leaving Ch. 13 KTRK-TV Houston's sports department after more than two decades. Slovak joined Ch. 13 in 1998 as the sports reporter alongside longtime Houston sports anchors Tim Melton & the late Bob Allen. In 2013, when Melton suffered a stroke & had to retire from the TV biz, Slovak moved from sports reporter to weekend sports anchor. Before coming to Ch. 13, Sl- 2 replies

From what I can tell, Brhe Berry & Mayra Moreno had been filing-in for Knight on the weekday morning newscast

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.

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.
