I have been receiving reader questions about meteorologist Ryan Shoptaugh appearing on KHOU 11 in Houston, and if I have written about it.
The answer is yes and no.
I have not written about Shoptaugh doing some work for KHOU, but recently I covered how Shoptaugh was promoted to a TEGNA Multi-Market Meteorologist position based out of his old station, KENS 5 in San Antonio.
"Remaining based at KENS in San Antonio, I’ll serve as a Multi-Market Meteorologist - helping cover weather across Texas and cities throughout the South," Shoptaugh posted in December 2025 on social.
With the TEGNA-Nexstar merger, not sure what happens to Shoptaugh and other TEGNA Multi-Market Meteorologists. Will they stay where they are or move into the Nexstar weather fill-in hubs?
Either way, if you are in Texas or nearby, you might see Shoptaugh fill in for a meteorologist in your local TEGNA or Nexstar station's weather department.
