Alex Garcia and Chuck Miketinac no longer with FOX San Antonio KABB

Alex Garcia and Chuck Miketinac


Alex Garcia and Chuck Miketinac's bios have been removed from the FOX 29 San Antonio KABB website.

Miketinac has officially marked his time with FOX SA as ended on LinkedIn.

In early September 2026, when Sinclair Broadcast Group conducted layoffs at its San Antonio duopoly, FTV heard Garcia and Miketinac might have been unfortunately cut, but both were still on the station's website bios page at the time.

While we do not know whether the longtime FOX San Antonio employees were part of the layoffs, it is likely since their bios are gone.

In August, Sinclair sister station CBS Austin KEYE also had job cuts.
