Bill Barajas just announced he has been promoted to KPRC 2 Houston weekend anchor.
UPDATE
Syan Rhodes to leave KPRC 2
Here is what Barajas posted to Facebook:
"Big news! Happy to announce that I’ve been promoted and given a wonderful opportunity as a weekend evening anchor at KPRC.
I’ve been back in Houston for almost 4 years now and It’s a dream come true to anchor in my hometown.
Make sure to check us out Saturday’s at 6pm and 10pm and Sundays at 5pm and 10pm."
Barajas takes over the spot left by Jonathan Martinez who was hired to be evening anchor for News 4 San Antonio WOAI in 2021.

Barajas joined KPRC 2 from Graham Media Group sister-station KSAT 12 San Antonio in 2019.
As I have written many times, the Barajas name is a big one in Texas TV.
"Bill is a graduate of the University of Houston just like his old man and he is following in the broadcasting footsteps," former FOX 26 KRIV evening anchor Mike Barajas told mikemcguff.com back in 2013 when Bill Barajas started at KSAT 12.
Mike Barajas' former co-anchor, now FOX 26 KRIV morning anchor Melissa Wilson, commented on my Facebook post that Mike was very excited about Bill's weekend anchor promotion and is "having a blast being a granddad." Bill added in the comments that his dad has been enjoying retirement.
Then there is his cousin, Erik Barajas, who is an abc13 KTRK evening anchor.
Bill's brother, John Paul Barajas, now works for KSAT San Antonio.
Both of the Barajas brothers previously worked for KRGV 5 Rio Grande Valley.
I've said it before, Isiah Carey called the Barajas media dynasty back in 2010.
