Casey Claiborne leaves FOX 7 Austin

Casey Claiborne


Casey Claiborne is no longer with FOX 7 Austin KTBC as a "Good Day Austin" morning anchor, a station representative confirms to mikemcguff.com.

Evening anchor Rebecca Thomas has also recently left FOX 7 Austin.

In January 2022, Claiborne transitioned from anchoring weekend mornings to weekday mornings on "Good Day Austin," succeeding Dave Froehlich, who left for KHOU 11 Houston in 2021. Froehlich returned to his former job as an anchor on FOX 7 KTBC's "Good Day Austin" in October 2023.

Since joining the station in 2013, Claiborne has covered a broad range of stories, from breaking news, city hall, and political developments.

Before arriving in Austin, Claiborne worked at KETK 56, Tyler, where he served as both a reporter and weekend morning anchor from 2010 to 2012. 

The University of North Texas grad's broadcast journey began even earlier—at just 16 years old—when he hosted the Saturday morning radio show "Let's Talk" on 1400 AM KEBE in Jacksonville, Texas.
