Announced on a couple of the station's newscasts yesterday, is that longtime morning met Casey Curry is switching schedules with 11am/4pm met Travis Herzog starting Monday, August 3rd.
"Yes, we're really going to miss our sweet Travis at 11, but I can always see him on early," tweeted anchor Melanie Lawson.
Curry joined the channel 13 morning news back in August of 2006 replacing Doug Brown. She's a big deal on this blog since a news item about Curry was my top post of all time for years. That is until KTRK demoted morning anchor Sharron Melton. Since then Melton has been in the top spot.
Herzog joined KTRK a month before Curry in 2006 from KBTX in College Station. If memory serves he started at KTRK as the weekend morning meteorologist and then a few years later moved to the 11am and 4pm newscasts. For those not in the news business, these shows are not as high profile as the morning or 10pm newscasts, but they are great to work because they are normal hours.

Also, I would imagine the retirement of one Don Nelson has something to do with it. The station might feel it needs to add one more male back to the morning team since Nelson was replaced by Katherine Whaley.
KTRK did not respond to requests for info on this swap.
On a related abc13 note, this morning DISH customers saw a yellow screen in place of or over KTRK. Viewers were complaining on social media. DISH responded in a tweet it was KTRK's issue.
