Zachery Lashway, or Zach, announced he is leaving his KPRC 2 anchor/reporter position as of today.
Here is a portion of what Lashway posted on social:
"After more than 15 years in TV news and more than seven incredible years with Graham Media Group, I am stepping away. Today’s 3 PM show is my final newscast at KPRC 2.
There’s never an easy time to leave something you love, but there can be a right time. And for me, that time is now.
As for me, my work continues too. It will look different, but the purpose is the same: share what matters, tell it clearly and help keep our community safer, stronger, and closer.
Lashway joined KPRC 2 Houston in October 2021 as a reporter from sister station WJXT–News4Jax in Jacksonville, Florida, where he served as a weekend morning anchor.
In March 2023, KPRC 2 debuted a new hour of morning news on its digital streaming platform, KPRC2+, airing from 8 to 9 a.m., with Lashway in the anchor chair. The show later expanded, launching “KPRC2+ Now” at 9 in August 2023 with Lashway alongside Haley Hernandez.
During his time at KPRC 2, Lashway has covered numerous major national and international stories. He was the first—and only—Texas reporter to travel to Poland two consecutive years to report on the humanitarian crisis stemming from the Russia–Ukraine war. His assignments have also taken him to Philadelphia for the 2022 World Series and to Los Angeles for Super Bowl LVI. In addition, Lashway has flown over the Gulf with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to observe security operations and has gone behind the scenes with the Transportation Security Administration during flight attendant self-defense training.
Lashway also hosts the KPRC original series “Solvable,” which focuses on cold cases within marginalized communities.
Before WJXT, the two-time Edward R. Murrow Award recipient and an Emmy-nominated journalist worked as an anchor and reporter at KARE 11 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
His previous experience includes roles as an anchor/reporter at PHL 17 WPHL in Philadelphia and as a morning anchor at KRTV/KXLH in Great Falls, Montana.
While attending the State University of New York (SUNY) at Plattsburgh, Lashway interned with CBS News.
(Thanks, Shad, Taylor, and Satch!)
