Rita Garcia named weekday anchor for Fox 26

[Blue Dogs]

Folks, take a look at this article from the Houston Chronicle. It appears Rita Garcia will be staying in the weekday morning newscasts for Fox 26, permanently taking over the co-anchor spot leftover from the departure of Natalie Bomke, who left the station to move back to her home state of Illinois, working for Fox affiliate, WFLD-TV Fox 32.

 

Kristine Galvan will assume the weekend evening anchor duties for Fox 26 until a permanent replacement is named.

Fox 26 has recently become a revolving door of talented folks (including some who've been there for almost 30 years) leaving for greener pastures.

 

Ned Hibberd-now in Charlotte, NC

Natalie Bomke-now at WFLD-TV, Fox 32 Chicago

Jan Jeffcoat-now at WSUA-TV Washington, DC

Sibilia Vargas-recently back in her home state of NY State

Nancy Zambrano-lasted a few months before heading back to Austin

 

I'm wondering who else is next to leave Fox 26, any takers ?

So do they not pay enough? Or do people just want the exposure of a big city from the smallest station as a stepping stone to higher profile stations in other cities?
