Ron Rosseau retires from KTAB Abilene


After more than four decades in television and two separate stints at the station, Ron Rosseau is signing off from KTAB Abilene.

Rosseau retires from his role as KTAB’s morning anchor on June 26, 2026.

A familiar face to Big Country viewers, Rosseau first joined KTAB in 1981 as a reporter shortly after graduating from Abilene Christian University with a bachelor’s degree in mass communication.

He remained with the station until 1999 before leaving for Washington, D.C., where he joined the professional staff of former U.S. Congressman Charles Stenholm.

Following about 18 months in the nation’s capital, Rosseau returned to the private sector and helped market a filtered internet service. After the company was sold, he worked as a staff announcer at KGNZ Radio before returning to KTAB in 2006.



Back at the station, Rosseau became a staple of KTAB’s morning and noon newscasts, serving as both anchor and producer and helping start viewers’ days for nearly two decades.

Outside of broadcasting, Rosseau devoted time to ministry work as a fill-in preacher and Sunday school teacher. He also stayed active for years through jogging and racquetball.

In retirement, Rosseau plans to spend more time with family and friends. He and his wife have three children and one grandson, with another grandchild expected soon.

Stepping into the KTAB morning anchor role is veteran broadcaster Pam Nolan, who was introduced to viewers this week.

Nolan brings more than three decades of television news and journalism experience to the desk. Most recently, she served as journalism department head and journalism teacher at San Antonio Christian School, where she led the school’s journalism program, developed curriculum and mentored students in reporting, writing and broadcast production.

Before transitioning into education, Nolan built a longtime career in Texas television news. She worked as an anchor and reporter at KWES-TV in Midland/Odessa from 2012 to 2018, anchoring and producing multiple evening newscasts.

Her previous stops included KOSA-TV in Odessa, where she spent more than 13 years across two tenures anchoring evening newscasts and helping guide newsroom coverage, KMID-TV in Midland, and KXAN-TV in Austin, where she anchored morning newscasts and covered state government and court proceedings.

Like Rosseau, Nolan is also an Abilene Christian University graduate, earning her degree in mass communication and media studies.
