I am overwhelmed and humbled by the love and support from family, friends and viewers in light of recent events. I have resigned from my role as Sports Director at KSAT 12. I am grateful for the opportunity this brings to focus on my health and wellness, and what the future will bring.”
Simmons joined KSAT in 1980.
He previously worked for 102.1 KBUC Rio Grande Valley and 1580-AM KWED Seguin.
While at Jefferson High School in the early 1970s, Simmons helped launch KJEF to play music and deliver news as an in-house radio station for students.
