Melanie Lawson and Miya Shay earn Disney gold


Melanie Lawson celebrated 40 years with abc13 KTRK Houston in September and reporter Miya Shay celebrated 20 in December!  

Today the channel 13 duo were given the "gold" as their service awards were handed out by news director Keaton Fuchs

Since abc13 is owned by Disney, looks like Lawson received a Donald Duck award and Shay a Simba from the "Lion King."

In other KTRK news, Shay reveals in the post that NPPA member Francisco Barragan has been named chief photogapher for the station. Barragan replaces Anthony Reed who left for the operations manager role for sister-station ABC11 WTVD Raleigh-Durham, NC back in late 2022.
