Blue Dogs Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Howdy HAIF Family. Here's a newly-created Discussion Mega-Thread on the No. 1 TV News station in the Lone Star State: ABC 13 KTRK-TV Houston. We get right off the bat with news that Elyse Smith will be joining ABC 13 KTRK-TV Houston. According to Alan Pergament of the Buffalo News, ABC 13 hadn't told the person that Smith is replacing the person in question which brings a guessing game on which one of the meteorologists is likely heading for the exits. Mike McGuff of mikemcguff.com, has asked the audience & multiple sources & Houston TV viewers, who are very good detective sleuths, had let him know that Smith was joining the ABC 13 Weather Department. https://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2023/05/elyse-smith-coming-to-houston-tv.html Smith's Twitter post: Big question: which one of the meteorologists is leaving ABC 13 KTRK-TV Houston with Smith likely taking their job ? A.) Elita Loresca: She's been with the ABC O&O Station since 2015 B.) David Tillman: He's been at ABC 13 since September 2000 C.) Rachel Briers D.) Kevin Roth We all know Chief Meteorologist Travis Herzog is NOT going anywhere anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their matching wardrobe sure left one to wonder! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dogs Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 @ChannelTwoNews @steve1363 Any of you remember this newscast from Wednesday evening, May 25th, 1983 ? Here's a picture of ABC 13's 1st virtual studio set with the beautiful sunset behind the downtown skyline from the 6:00 PM newscast. I believe this is from ABC 13's 1st virtual studio set began unveiled sometime during the early part of the Fall of 1982. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the three leaving (Winkler, Giovanni Lieggi, and Brooke Taylor), Taylor is the biggest loss in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
