editor Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 For those of you who are fans of KHCW's (channel 39) Katie McCall, she's leaving town. Headed to WBBM-TV/Chicago. She's originally from Chicago and has tried to get back there for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heights2Bastrop Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 It strange to go to a different city and see a TV reporter who you remember from Houston. In Austin, Olga Campos, Jim Bergamo and James Irby are among those I remember from Houston stations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Simon Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 It's even more interesting when they boomerang back to a different station.After leaving 13, Alan Hemberger bounced around some Texas markets before coming back to 39After leaving 13 when Art Rascon was brought in to fill the 5, Vicente Arenas bounced off of San Antonio to come back to 11.By the way, the ratings are in. 11 won all but the mornings, and the most interesting result is that KPRC came in forth in the 5PM time period behind a Spanish language station.

Heights2Bastrop Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 This morning I was watching KVUE, the Austin ABC affiliate, doing the local news, when who do you think came on? Talk about weird. But then, his name is synonymous with weird! It was a segment of Walton's World about the Houston Zoo!I did a search in fear that I would find he was now in Austin, but, to my great relief, I see he is still with Ch11. I guess KVUE bought the segment from KHOU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 KVUE and KHOU are both owned by the same company, along with WFAA/Dallas, KENS/San Antonio, KCWX/Fredericksburg, and 14 other stations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssullivan Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Last year I was up in the Philadelphia area at my company's headquarters for training. One night I was watching the local news on the ABC station and a report came on from Nydia Han, who used to be a consumer investigator here at KTRK-13. I didn't even know she was no longer in Houston until I saw her on the news in Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trophy Property Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 More trivia: Chris Wragge, Channel 2 Sports was an Entertainment Tonight host and is married to playboy playmate Victoria Silvsdtedt.I remember back about 15 years there was some scandal with Ed Brandon, the weather guy.

I remember going to NYC in 2000 and heard Paul "Cubby" Bryant from 104 with his own popular radio show there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonianInColorado Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I remember back about 15 years there was some scandal with Ed Brandon, the weather guy. Anyone remember what that was all about?Yeah, IIRC he had a cocaine addiction. Much to 13's credit, they let him come back after he went through rehab.

Pumapayam Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 After leaving 13, Alan Hemberger bounced around some Texas markets before coming back to 39I always wondered why he looked so familiar, now I know. I still think that last name is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDubRedRaider Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) I always wondered why he looked so familiar, now I know. I still think that last name is ridiculous.He lives in Kingwood and his wife was my Kindergarten teacher. I also worked with one of his sons at my step-dad's restaurant last summer.
