For those who have Dish Network, you've been wondering why haven't you been able to watch CBS 11 KHOU-TV Houston since early last month. It appears that TEGNA removed all services from Dish Network & it turns out CBS 11 KHOU-TV Houston is NOT the only ones with viewers having problems not seeing their station: if you're living in the Lone Star State, other TEGNA stations being affected by this include the following: WFAA-TV Dallas/Fort Worth (ABC 8), KENS-TV San Antonio (CBS 5), KVUE-TV Austin (ABC 24), KCEN-TV Waco, KAGS-TV College Station, KYTX-TV Tyler, KIII-TV Corpus Christi, KBMT-KJAC-TV Beaumont, KXVA-TV Abilene & KIDY-TV San Angelo. Byron Allen of Entertainment Studios announced last month, he has enough investors to help him in a $23-a-share-takeover of TEGNA. Allen also owns the Weather Channel & other local TV stations. Who do y'all think will be owning CBS 11 KHOU-TV Houston & TEGNA one year from now if this situation isn't resolved ? https://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2021/10/who-will-own-khou-and-tegna-year-from.html https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-10-19-byron-allen-said-to-get-more-backing-for-broadcaster-tegna-bid

Tonight on the 10:00pm news, KHOU CBS 11 meterologist Mario Gomez will be delivering the weather for the final time on the TEGNA station. As Mike McGuff of mikemcguff.com had reported earlier in April, Gomez is leaving KHOU-TV after 32 years. However lately, since he was still on the air. many KHOU 11 viewers asked if Gomez was actually leaving. McGuff tell them, "I hope you enjoyed Gomez's work this summer because his time with the Houston CBS affiliate ends tonight 10pm." Gomez took to Facebook earlier this morning with the following message: "As one of the longest serving TV meteorologists in Houston, I want to say thank you for allowing me to come into your homes. Thank you for trusting KHOU during the worst hurricanes & floods that are so common in SE Texas. I've enjoyed working with the best in the business for almost 32 years. See you all one last time tonight on the late news!" http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2016/07/mario-gomezs-last-khou-11-weathercast.html?m= 1 http://www.khou.com /
