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.

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.

In case any of y'all had been living under a rock, Chauncy Glover announced last week he was leaving ABC 13 after just eight years with the ABC O&O Station on Tuesday, August 1st, 2023, which was his final newscast as the 6:30 PM news anchor & according to the Houston Chronicle, Glover left the Lone Star State for good in order to get better job opportunities.

The shocker for me was that Chauncy and Mayra were not a couple.  Their matching wardrobe sure left one to wonder!

@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.

ABC 13 KTRK-TV Houston reporter/fill-in anchor Brooke Taylor, whose biography says she "isn't afraid to ask the tough questions and hold public officials accountable" has left the ABC O&O Station following nearly 3 years & will be heading to Fox News Channel as a Dallas-based correspondent in September 2024, the cable network has confirmed to mikemcguff.com.

He seems like a good guy but I never cared for his style of reporting.  Of the three leaving (Winkler, Giovanni Lieggi, and Brooke Taylor), Taylor is the biggest loss in my opinion.

Taylor will be doing AWESOME with Fox News. Plus she'll be in Dallas.
