Alan Holt is leaving his 3NEWS KIII Corpus Christi chief meteorologist position to join TEGNA sister station News Center Maine WCSH Portland, Maine.
Holt has been with KIII for 13 years will have his last day on Friday, December 5, 2025.
“I’ve grown into my adult life here, both personally and professionally,” Holt said in an online statement. “I’ve celebrated milestones that will forever tie me to the Coastal Bend – covering Hurricane Harvey, the snow that followed that December, getting married, and welcoming our baby girl into the world.”
In 2021, Holt transitioned from the morning newscast to become KRIS-TV’s chief meteorologist, succeeding longtime weather leader Bill Vessey upon his retirement.
Speaking of changes, in 2024, Holt welcomed baby daughter Rayleigh.
Before returning home to Texas, Alan spent two years at KTWO in Wyoming, where his work earned him recognition from the Wyoming Association of Broadcasters as one of the state’s top meteorologists.
A San Antonio native, Holt graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a bachelor’s degree in Communication. He later earned a master’s degree in Geosciences with a concentration in Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi State University. During his time at MSU, he was also a proud member of The Famous Maroon Band, where he played snare drum.
“Alan’s deep ties to the Coastal Bend and his dedication to serving this community have been extraordinary,” 3NEWS President and General Manager Rebecca Cantu added. “We understand the strong pull of family and the chance to be closer to loved ones in the Northeast. Though we’ll miss Alan’s leadership and presence in our newsroom, we’re proud to see him take this next step within the TEGNA family.”
“Alan and I started working at 3NEWS just weeks apart," said 3NEWS News Director Jonathan Munson. "He’s been part of the heart of this newsroom ever since and I’m so glad to say I got to grow alongside him for all these years. He’s been a trusted source of information, a mentor to so many, and a true friend. As a Corpus Christi native, I can say he’s left a mark on this community that will last well beyond his time on the air.”
