John Engel leaves KXAN Austin

John Engel, KXAN Austin political reporter, announced he is leaving the Nexstar Media Group station after a little more than a year.

"Surprise! Today was my last at KXAN," Engel tweeted.  "We’re heading to North Carolina so that my wife can pursue an amazing, new opportunity — I’m really proud of her. Thanks for letting me into this crazy world of Texas politics for a bit."

Engel announced he was joining KXAN in April 2020 from WCYB Johnson City, TN where he worked for two years.

Previously he worked in radio as a news anchor at News 104.5 WOKV-FM Jacksonville, FL and ESPN 730 Boise, ID.

He is a graduate of Boise State University.

KXAN Austin has had lots of job movements lately.  In May, weekend anchor/investigative reporter Erin Cargile left followed by evening news anchor Sydney Benter

CBS 4 Denver KCNC morning and noon anchor Britt Moreno debuted as the KXAN Austin evening news anchor in June.
