Blue Dogs

In case you've been living under rocks, it appears that Doug Delony, Lisa Carter & Ruben Galvan all left CBS 11 KHOU-TV Houston. Not sure if there's a house-cleaning going on over at the Houston TEGNA Station.

Any thoughts of what's going on over there in the Houston TEGNA Station ?

McGuff reported on Hoffman reporting it:

Pallilo used to be on Ch. 13's "Extra Points" show on Saturday evenings.

I've enjoyed listening to Johnson, he provides a player's perspective on what's happening, and makes the show more interesting.

Plus the honesty.

Does anybody know whatever happened to Rich Lord formerly of Sports Radio 610 KILT-AM Houston since he was sent packing a few years ago ?

Longtime anchor Art Rascon will be leaving at the end of the year. His son Jacob will move from KPRC to KTRK next year as an anchor & reporter.

ABC13 Houston anchor Art Rascon stepping away, but son, Jacob, will join the station - ABC13 Houston

I knew this was inevitable once Jason left NBC 2 KPRC-TV Houston. All signs were pointing to him replacing his father at Live at Five. 

Is Ch. 13 having a house cleaning over there ? 

Tomorrow is the last day of Ch. 13 KTRK-TV Houston reporter Marla Carter, who'll be leaving the ABC O&O Station after nearly 6 years according to Mike McGuff of mikemcguff.com.

Interesting to see if Carter will return to the TV biz down the road but looking forward to seeing her next chapter in life. 

WOW! I did NOT see this one coming at all. I was hoping Dominique would get to 30 years.

Does anyone know who'll be her successor ?

Mike McGuff of mikemcguff.com has more information on Sachse leaving NBC 2 KPRC-TV Houston:

Looks like her final newscast will be on Friday, October 29th 6:00 PM. 

Thank you very much for the memories Dominique! 😊

Fox 26 still has NOT found a replacement for Christy'ann Uribe as the station's weekday morning traffic anchor. 🤔

This particular morning show was actually cancelled and re-launched as "No Wait Weather + Traffic" last year. 

The current version of the show is actually watchable from the times I have popped in to see it. It runs from 6-10 AM and has weather and traffic every ten minutes with news and features rotating throughout the program. Sharron Melton is still the anchor. 

I still think it's kind of funny that the morning show is done in-house but the 9 PM newscast is produced by KTRK. 

I noticed that Lanier had left for FL several months earlier. Guessing he wasn't popular with folks in Houston.

Fun fact: He's a HAIFer too and has contributed some good photos from downtown over the years.

I remember him from Corpus Christi when he was at the CBS station there in the 2000s. He went by "Keaton Fox". Good reporter. I'm sure he will do well at  13.

I had no idea he used to be a HAIF-ista.

If the sidewalk is too narrow, then the city needs to widen it. Plus I highly doubt these will be going in areas with sidewalks that are only 3 feet. I personally think these are going to be great. We need more eye catching, pedestrian friendly things like this. 

Is there any new developments on this issue ?

Mike McGuff of mikemcguff.com is reporting Karina Segovia is leaving Telemundo 47 KTMD-TV Houston & heading to sister station Telemundo 40 Rio Grande Valley KTLM-TV. The meteorologist joins anchor Denise Salinas on Noticias Telemundo 40 for the weekday 11:00 AM Midday newscast.

Just waiting for the next train-wreck in Nashville if Innes keeps alienating folks. 

Good Morning HAIF family. It looks like Jason Isbell got triggered & called out Fox 26 weekday morning anchor Sally MacDonald over a possible conflict of interest, when Isbell on Twitter put MacDonald on full-blast by mentioning MacDonald's ties to the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion following the artist's cancellation of a Wednesday show at the venue.

Isbell's record label, Southeastern Records, tweeted a statement confirming the cancellations Tuesday evening, stating the venue wouldn't comply with the artist's updated safety precautions asking venues to require proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 tests for entry.

https://twitter.com/SoutheasternRec/status/1425223993745944583

Soon after, Fox 26 KRIV-TV Houston weekday morning anchor Sally MacDonald offered a rebuttal to Southeastern Records' claims by replying with a graphic from Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion stating the issue that led to the cancellation was timing, rather than an unwillingness on part of the venue to introduce additional safety measures.

https://twitter.com/SallyMacFox26/status/1425234853667160077

Isbell responded by strongly refuting MacDonald & the venue's version of events, stating that the owner of Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion refused to try to implement additional safety standards. Houston Twitter users were quick to note a certain link between MacDonald & the venue--namely that Sally MacDonald is the daughter of Jerry MacDonald, President & CEO of Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion.

Isbell also joined in on pointing out the blatant conflict of interest in reference to MacDonald & her family:

Let me know your thoughts on the situation including folks on Twitter calling out MacDonald for the potential conflict of interest.

According to Elita Loresca, we're going to find out who'll be the successor to Tom Koch of Ch. 13's weekday morning newscasts next week. Big question is whether it'll be Jeff Ehling or Steven Romo ?

Fox Weather, which is new actually. This article today indicates they are "aggressively poaching star meteorologists from Houston, Seattle, St. Louis and other markets."

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/06/business/media/fox-weather-channel-plus.html

I wonder how long before Elita Loresca bails from Ch. 13 KTRK-TV Houston ?

When I worked at Kmart (59 & Beechnut) in the early 70's I used see Doug at the  store sometimes.He wasn't

hard to miss. That voice and being so tall I would notice him walking down the aisle. I waited on him a couple of times. A great TV personality.RIP 

They don't make legends like him anymore....

Appreciate your research, but no.
No, thank you. I will not be viewing this video clip.
The prospect makes my stomach turn.

Hecker even is proud of getting fired by Fox 26 KRIV-TV Houston.
