Stephanie Serna on how she landed her first job

Stephanie Serna is interviewed by fellow KSAT 12 San Antonio anchor Ernie Zuniga for his "Pickup Lines" podcast.

Serna joined KSAT 12 San Antonio in November 2009 as a general assignments reporter, from reporting roles at KXAN Austin, CBS Austin KEYE, and KWTX 10 in the Waco-Temple-Killeen area.

Her career took a pivotal turn in the mid-1990s at FOX 29 KABB, where she landed a key opportunity after a mix-up involving another hire opened the door for her.

A San Antonio native, Serna graduated from John Jay High School and holds a journalism degree from the University of Texas at Austin.

'Dean and Rog' launch YouTube channel with Birthday Scams

The "Dean and Rog" Morning Show radio team has launched a YouTube channel with their Birthday Scam prank calls.

Dean Myers and Roger Beaty were let go from The Eagle 106.9/107.5 KHPT-KGLK Houston in December 2024.

The account promises new uploads every Tuesday and Friday at 7am Central.  

101 KLOL legend Outlaw Dave is now doing mornings on Houston's Eagle. Watch OD in the documentary "Runaway Radio."  Former KLOL DJ Chuck Akers also joined The Eagle.

Bob Brackeen calls it a career at KTEN Sherman

Bob Brackeen is retiring from KTEN Sherman and the TV news industry after around 30 years.

The evening anchor has covered many Texas cities over the years, including a stop in  Portland, Maine.

I want to cover Brackeen's career fully, whose bio claims he has a truck full of AP awards, but I'm trying to piece his resume together with glue and staples.

Outside of KTEN Sherman, I am pretty certain Brackeen has also worked for:

KIDY/KXVA - San Angelo / Abilene

KETK  - Tyler

KAVU 25 Victoria

But I believe the  Paris, Texas native has also worked for KLTV 7 East Texas, as well as a station in Beaumont.

Michael Courier joins KVUE Austin

Michael Courier is joining KVUE Austin from KVIA ABC-7 El Paso.

Courier is an anchor and producer for ABC 7 at Noon on KVIA and also serves as the traffic anchor for Good Morning El Paso.

Courier joined KVIA in 2022 as a multimedia journalist.

The Colorado Media School grad gained experience in radio as a board operator at 104.3 KKFN The Fan and ESPN Radio 1600 in Denver, Colorado.

San Antonio TV anchor celebrity doppelgängers

The KSAT 12 "Good Morning San Antonio" team used AI to see which celebrity their anchors Ernie Zuniga and Japhanie Gray, plus meteorologist Justin Horne, most resemble.

If I were to go to the trouble of doing this, looking at my photo above, I guess I'd get back Max Headroom?

KHOU 11 adds new morning newscast on streaming

KHOU 11 Houston is expanding its morning show from 7 to 9 a.m. on KHOU 11+ starting June 30, 2025.

Now, KHOU will have morning news on TV from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m., followed by the new digital newscast with the same anchor team on streaming.

Monday, station owner TEGNA announced an increase in newscast offerings for its group.

KHOU is now offering a morning streaming newscast just like other Houston stations, such as ABC13 KTRK and KPRC 2 have been doing for years.

As for other TEGNA Texas stations, I blogged back in April about how KVUE Austin was launching Daybreak+ with Rob Evans on KVUE+.

I looked around and did not see any newscast expansions for WFAA 8 Dallas-Fort Worth or KENS 5 San Antonio at this point.

KHOU also posted a video about a new streaming show at 10 a.m. called "Texas News Now," which appears to feature news from across the state from TEGNA sister stations.  "Texas News Now" has been around since at least March, as it was mentioned in an article on CBS19 KYTX East Texas.
