Sherman Desselle is leaving FOX 26 KRIV Houston, where he joined the station in June 2022 as a reporter and fill-in anchor.
Here is what Desselle posted to social:
"After four years in Houston and 18 years in this business, it was time to make a change - not just a new job title, but an opportunity that would be better for my family and me beyond the newsroom. I thank God for this new opportunity.
My time at Fox 26 was fantastic. I put every skill I had to work: reporting, anchoring, streaming, writing, strategizing. I did it all.
I’ve connected with one of the most diverse and important cities in America, while working alongside the most talented people who have become close friends and extended family.
As the industry has changed, I’ve changed with it - and I’m proud of the work I’ve done.
As for what’s next - I’ll let everyone in on it in due time. Especially since all of the talented journalists in the market are texting and following me right now. Don’t worry, I’m sticking around.
Thank you to EVERY Houstonian who made me feel at home and welcomed me into your community. See you later, see you soon."
Desselle came to Houston from WDSU 6 New Orleans, where he worked as a weekend anchor beginning in 2019.
During his career, he earned the RTDNA Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for the documentary, "History and Hope: Our Hidden Past."
A graduate of Northwestern State University, Desselle launched his television career at News Channel 5 KALB in Alexandria, Louisiana. He started as a part-time photographer before advancing to multimedia journalist, weekend anchor and eventually morning anchor.
