Steve Spriester is stepping away from the KSAT12 San Antonio anchor desk after more than 30 years.
His final broadcast at KSAT12 will be on August 27, 2025.
“It hasn’t been an easy decision to step away after all these years at KSAT12. The station has been my home, and I’m grateful for the support I’ve received,” Spriester said. “But it’s time for the next chapter. I am deeply thankful to the viewers and the community who have welcomed me into their homes, engaged with me on a personal level, and made San Antonio a better place.”
Spriester will be joining Perfected Claims, a legal advocacy firm, as head of strategic communications.
Since joining KSAT in 1995, Spriester has anchored coverage of five Spurs NBA championships, the NBA All-Star Game, numerous Fiesta celebrations, presidential conventions, devastating floods, and tragic events such as the Uvalde and Sutherland Springs shootings. He also created impactful community-focused projects like Know My Neighborhood and Spriester Sessions, highlighting voices across San Antonio.
Spriester began at KSAT12 as a general assignment reporter, quickly rising to weekend anchor in 1996, then 6 p.m. anchor and investigative reporter in 1998. Since 2000, he’s anchored KSAT’s 5 p.m., 6 p.m., and The Nightbeat. His work has earned him three Lone Star Emmy Awards, two Telly Awards, and honors from the Texas Associated Press.
“Steve has been a cornerstone of San Antonio’s media landscape for over three decades. But beyond the headlines, he’s built deep relationships, listened to his community, and shared stories that have resonated with viewers,” said Ashley Parker, vice president and general manager of KSAT12. “While we’ll miss seeing him on the air, we are thrilled for Steve’s next chapter.”
