Alex Del Barrio signed off KRGV 5 News Rio Grande Valley, where he is sports director.
"Thanks for the memories," Barrio tweeted. "The 956 will continue to be home. I just won’t be at KRGV."
Del Barrio previously worked as a Sports Director/Anchor for FOX 2 News XHRIO McAllen, but his work goes far beyond local television.
He's worked everything from the World Wrestling Entertainment as a live event host and ring announcer for their NXT brand, to the Rice University ESPN+ broadcast team and as an announcer for the Harlem Globetrotters.
Houston sports fans will recognize him from his previous host/reporting work for Sportsradio 610 KILT. He has also hosted for ESPN 1240 KSOX McAllen.
#ICYMI I had my final sportscast tonight at KRGV. Thanks to my pal @ChasingSnyder and his blue status for helping me put tonight’s goodbye in its entirety on Twitter/X
