Here is what Trippett posted on Instagram in this age of social media when leaving channel 39:


"Time to move on to the next era. I’m so thankful to have met and worked with so many of the people in these pictures, from WDHN in Dothan, to KPRC in Houston, WOAI/KABB in San Antonio, and back home to CW 39 Houston.

Thank you for all of the lessons learned, many of them hard, and for shaping me into the person I am today.

What’s next? Normal hours and every holiday off! I can’t wait."

Star Harvey joins PIX11 News WPIX New York


Star Harvey is the weekend morning meteorologist for PIX11 News WPIX New York after leaving CW 39 KIAH Houston.

"I’ve arrived in New York and I’m extremely excited to share I’ve joined the WPIX team," Harvey tweeted.  "Live debut next weekend. Tune in 8-10am to show some love."

Harvey posted the news about her PIX11 WPIX hiring with a photo of her taken on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Looks like my guess about Harvey going to a Nexstar Media Group station was right on target! Although I must admit, considering Harvey is from Los Angeles, I privately thought she might be heading to KTLA.  Speaking of moves in the same week...another Houston talent is heading to LA television.

Harvey joined CW39 Houston in early 2021 from KREX News 5 News Grand Junction, CO.  She started out as a meteorologist for KIAH's "NO WAIT WEATHER+TRAFFIC" morning newscast and then expanded to co-hosting "Houston Happens" with Maggie Flecknoe.

The California State University, Northridge grad started in the broadcast biz as a news assistant for abc7 KABC Los Angeles.
