David Barron with the Houston Chronicle reports that Gray's last day will be November 18. Economics were cited as the reason. The same thing happened to his co-anchor Wendy Corona.
Gray started in Houston with KHOU 11 and had a good run there, followed by his managing editor and 4/6pm anchor gig at KPRC.
The buzz in the Houston media has been that Iain Page, from the Golf Channel, who started recently at KPRC 2 weekends as an anchor is Gray's replacement. Who knows? Although that makes sense considering KPRC has had a one anchor weekend show for a very long time now. Also, in this economy, hiring a guy with national exposure for weekends doesn't make a lot of sense. Then late last night I heard it could be KPRC morning anchor Owen Conflenti. Personally I don't see why KPRC would take him off its successful morning show, unless they want to rub a little Conflenti magic on the afternoon shows. We will wait and see.
