KTSM 9 News El Paso is making some major anchor changes on its news desk starting Monday, April 11, 2022.
UPDATE JANUARY 2024
Trevor Thompson joins KOB 4 Eyewitness News Albuquerque
Andy Morgan is joining Natassia Paloma on the anchor desk from his role as sports director.
He's been in the sports department at KTSM 9 since 2015. Morgan married KFOX14 and CBS 4 KDBC investigative reporter Estefania Seyffert earlier in 2022.
Sports anchors to main anchors...where have we seen that before? Off the top of my head, I can point to KXXV 25 Waco/Temple/Killeen where, in different decades, Ray Peters and Bruce Gietzen made the transition.
"No goodbyes here, honored to be KTSM’s next evening anchor," Morgan tweeted. "What an opportunity in a place that has become my home, a position I will bring the same drive and dedication to as I did in sports. Time to roll up my sleeves and get to work alongside this great team at #KTSM9News."
Morgan is taking over the empty anchor seat left by Daniel Marin who left for the KXAN Austin politics reporter job in September 2021. Speaking of anchoring, Marin has been filling-in recently for KXAN evening anchor Robert Hadlock who is leaving this summer.
Who is taking over for Morgan in sports? Sports reporter Colin Deaver moves to the director role.
UPDATE: Sam Guzman is joining KTSM 9 as weekend sports anchor and weekday sports reporter.
But wait...there's more for the Nexstar Media Group Borderland TV station!
Reporter Stephanie Shields joins morning anchor Trevor Thompson on the KTSM 9 News at Noon anchor desk.
Morning reporter Karla Draksler has been promoted to weekend anchor. Draksler takes over the empty seat left recently by Christina Aguayo.
