KHOU 11 Houston announced on-air and on social that it's having a morning and afternoon temporary anchor change for June 2023 between Stephanie Simmons and Rekha Muddaraj.
So Simmons swaps AM for PM to anchor with Ron Treviño in the afternoons and Muddaraj drinks more coffee to work the morning news desk with Kimberly Davis and Dave Froehlich.
The social media posts about the swap mention this schedule for the month of June or for a "few weeks."
A high up source within KHOU 11 tells me this change is about summer vacations and that Muddaraj will also be filling in for evening anchor Mia Gradney later in June.
Apparently Simmons returns to mornings July 10th.
It certainly intrigued channel 11 viewers who asked me what was going on. It got me interested too, as in my memory, I have never seen anything like a pre-announced by all parties temporary anchor switch.
Naturally anchors at other stations have permanently swapped an AM for a PM shift with another anchor. I could list a bunch of those instances here if you really cared.
Stay tuned.
