Bryanna Moore announced this week that she is joining CW39 Houston KIAH from Nexstar Media Group sister stations Louisiana First News, WVLA NBC Local 33, and WGMB Fox 44 in Baton Rouge.
Here is a portion of what Moore posted on social:
"Houston... I'm coming home.
God did.
There were moments I prayed for opportunities I couldn't yet see, trusted His timing when it didn't make sense, and believed He was writing a story bigger than I could imagine. Today, I get to see part of that story unfold.
After an incredible chapter at Louisiana First News, I'm beyond excited to share that I'm joining the amazing team at CW39 Houston!
As a proud Houston native, this moment is more than a new job—it's a full-circle blessing. The city that raised me is now the city I'll have the honor of serving through storytelling."
Moore has served as the Weekend News Anchor and reporter for Louisiana First News since February 2025.
Before her promotion to the anchor desk, she launched her television news career as a multimedia journalist (MMJ) at sister station KNWA-TV and FOX24 News KFTA in Northwest Arkansas.
A Houston native, Moore attended Klein High School and the University of North Texas (UNT), where she earned a bachelor's degree in Converged Broadcast Media with studies in public relations, advertising, and applied communication. While at UNT, she also gained on-air experience as a news anchor for North Texas Television and completed a public relations internship with Pierpont Communications.
Moore is also a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
One CW39 journalist job change that went unreported while I was on blog break was the departure of reporter Daryl Matthews, whose bio was removed from the station website.
Matthews started at the station in the fall of 2025 after working at WFTV Channel 9 in Orlando, Florida, where he had been since May 2023. A Temple University grad, he previously worked in Greensboro, North Carolina, Elmira, and New York.
