Rumors that Kevin Ozebek would likely not return to ABC13 KTRK Houston after helping ABC7 KABC Los Angeles during the wildfire coverage have proven true.
TVNewsCheck reports that former KTRK GM Wendy Granato (now KABC GM) has hired Ozebek at the ABC-owned LA station.
When Ted Oberg moved to NBC Washington, Ozebek joined ABC13 in 2023 as the investigative reporter from WSVN 7 Miami.
Brandon De Hoyos, the director of community engagement, will also be moving to KABC from KTRK to succeed Vice President of Diversity and Community Engagement Teresa Samaniego.
Maybe more Channel 13 Houston employees will be heading west to La La Land!
As I blogged in the past, other former Texas TV journalists who work for ABC7 LA include Niku Kazori, Irene Cruz, David González and Leticia Juarez.
Recent ABC13 departures include Jacob Rascon, Courtney Fischer, and Rosie Nguyen.
