This doesn't come as any shock to anyone, who watches KPRC-TV NBC 2 Houston, but Simone Eli will be leaving KPRC-TV after just 2 years & heading back to AL. According to Mike McGuff of mikemcguff.com, Eli said, "I've loved my time here & have created amazing relationships with folks at KPRC, but I'm moving to be happier personally & continue my sports broadcasting career in AL (Birmingham/Tuscaloosa area)," Eli told McGuff. "I've yet to make a decision on some job offers but that'll be coming in the next couple of weeks, as well." Eli came to Houston & KPRC-TV NBC 2 from FOX 10 WALA-TV Mobile, AL. Before that, she worked as a TV Play-by-Play, color analyst & reporter for Buckeye Cable Sports Network (BCSN). No stranger to sports, Eli played basketball for Bowling Green State University's championship winning team, which advanced to the Sweet 16. Her last day on KPRC-TV is next Tuesday. Everyone please wish her well! http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2016/05/simone-eli-to-leave-kprc-2.html

KPRC viewer emails are flying into Mike McGuff's inbox. Why ? The "KPRC Local 2" tagline that's been effect for years seems to be going away in favor of the "KPRC 2 News" or "KPRC 2 News" taglines depending on which anchor you're watching. Social media wise, the station is slowly replacing the "local" word. The NBC affiliate's Facebook page name was also switched to "KPRC 2" this afternoon, however the talent pages all say KPRC Local 2 on them still. Same for the station's Twitter account. That's going to be a fun project for someone to go in & making all of those changes! http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2015/01/kprc-2-changes-names-drops-local.html?m=1 Any reaction to the new developments?

KENZI-TV News 9 chief meteorologist Justin Stapleton is coming to KPRC-TV the station has confirmed to mikemcguff.com. "I've always had a fascination with hurricanes & tropical storms," Stapleton told mikemcguff.com. "That's one of the draws to KPRC & Houston, an opportunity to forecast storms when they get into the Gulf & be out in the field reporting when severe weather hits. More importantly, a chance to learn from some amazing seasoned Mets like Frank & the rest of the team. Also to get a chance to learn from a former NHC director, Dr. Read, is an incredible bonus." http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2014/12/justin-stapleton-joins-kprc-2-weather.html?m=1 Reaction from anyone on Stapleton joining the KPRC-TV weather team?
