Bill Barajas gets married


Bill Barajas is now married to Carla Salinas. 

"Luckiest man in the world," the KPRC 2 weekend anchor posted.

The couple tied the knot on February 28, 2026, in Cancún, according to KPRC 2 Houston.

The newlyweds got engaged in 2024 in Positano, Amalfi Coast, Italy.

Corley Peel has been filling in on Channel 2 weekends for the last month, but Barajas will be back on the Saturday and Sunday anchor desk next week.

Corley Peel to anchor KPRC 2 Houston weekends

Corley Peel


Corley Peel will start anchoring KPRC 2 Houston weekends, but only for a month.

"Kicking off February by anchoring weekend evenings for the month," Peel posted.  "I’m filling in as my teammates move around during Winter Olympics coverage."

I've already blogged about Daniella Guzman going on a solo trip to Milan for Olympic coverage, which has clearly caused a scheduling emergency for Channel 2. 

Actual weekend anchor, Bill Barajas, has not posted anything about his schedule change, but he was filling in on the AM newscast Monday morning for Guzman. 

Game on, we now have the Barajas vs Rascon TV dynasty battling it out in the same timeslot! Get your popcorn... or maybe popcorn-flavored coffee, since they are both on early. 

Peel joined KPRC 2 as a reporter in 2023 from Graham Media Group sister-station News4JAX WJXT Jacksonville, Florida, where she was a weekend morning anchor/reporter. She worked there with Zach Lashway.

The native Texan joined News4JAX in July 2017 as a reporter and was promoted to anchor in August 2021.

The Texas Tech University grad previously worked for KJRH 2 News, Tulsa, Oklahoma, as a reporter and for KSN Local News, KSNF, Joplin, Missouri, as a weekend anchor/reporter.

UPDATE - HERE IS BARAJAS'S POST

Sarah Spivey named KSAT 12 noon meteorologist


Sarah Spivey announced Tuesday that she has been named KSAT 12 San Antonio’s official weekday noon meteorologist as of December 2025.

Here is what Spivey said on social:


"8 1/2 years ago I started at KSAT by working weekend mornings, and I have been waking up at 2 AM on Saturdays and Sundays ever since. I’ve loved the shift for many reasons, mainly because of the people I’ve been able to work with! Started with Bill Barajas and Stephanie Serna. Loved my time with Max Massey and Sarah Acosta. 

With a baby at home, it’s best for me now to make the switch to weekdays. I’ll miss waking up with you all on the weekends, but I’m looking forward to being on the noon show regularly with Stephanie and Courtney Friedman!"


Friedman moved from the weekend newscast to the noon in April 2025.

Spivey, who for years has worked the weekend morning weather shift, has already become a familiar face on the KSAT noon newscast. On days when she is off during the week, viewers may see meteorologist Shelby Ebertowski or morning meteorologist Justin Horne filling the noon slot.

KSAT has not yet announced who will take over Spivey’s weekend morning duties, though it’s worth noting that meteorologist Elliot Wilson recently joined the KSAT Weather Authority team.



Spivey, who has been a member of the KSAT 12 Weather Authority Team since 2017, previously sat down with anchor Ernie Zuniga for a May 2025 episode of his Pickup Lines podcast. During the conversation, she shared her deeply personal journey with hearing loss and how KSAT ultimately supported her along the way.

A San Antonio native, Spivey is a graduate of Clark High School and earned her degree from Texas A&M University. She began her broadcasting career at KTEN News in Sherman.

Spivey and her husband, Michael, were married in January 2020 and welcomed their first child in December 2024.

John Paul Barajas named KSAT 12 weekend anchor


John Paul Barajas announced this evening that he has been promoted to KSAT 12 San Antonio weekend evening anchor from his reporting role.

"I’m honored to be stepping into the role of Weekend Evening Anchor," Barajas posted. "It’s a position that has been held by so many amazing journalists and KSAT greats. I'm excited about this next chapter and added responsibility which truly is a privilege. See you tomorrow at 5 and 10!"

Barajas fills the void left by Courtney Friedman, who was just promoted to weekday anchoring.

That means he and his brother, Bill Barajas, will anchor simultaneously in Texas, and only a few hours down I-10 from each other! Bill is the weekend anchor for Graham Media Group's sister station, KPRC 2 Houston, and he previously worked for KSAT. 

We've been talking about the Barajas television dynasty for years. So, to catch you up, Jon Paul and Bill are the sons of former FOX 26 KRIV evening anchor Mike Barajas. They are the cousins of ABC13 KTRK Houston evening anchor Erik Barajas.

John Paul Barajas joined KSAT 12 in June 2021 from KRGV 5 in the Rio Grande Valley, where he was an anchor and general assignment reporter.

Barajas got his start in television journalism through internships at KTRK and KSAT.

A Jack J. Valenti School of Communication graduate at the University of Houston, Barajas is known to wear red ties on Fridays in honor of the Cougar Red Friday tradition.  You might have seen him on this very blog cheering on the Coogs ahead of the NCAA Championship in San Antonio. 

Also, announced today is the departure of the KSAT 12 news director.

Also, in another live shot, look who was in the crowd during Barajas's report!  His brother and Graham Media Group sister station reporter John Paul Barajas.

Two Barajas reporters at channel 2?


You are not hallucinating. There are two reporters named Barajas on KPRC 2 Houston at the moment.

The Channel 2 audience knows the recently engaged weekend anchor Bill Barajas, who has been here since 2019.  

But now, you also see his brother, John Paul Barajas, on Houston TV. He's here in Houston helping out after Hurricane Beryl from Graham Media Group's sister station KSAT 12 San Antonio, where Bill previously worked.

And guess who their father is?  That's right, former FOX 26 KRIV evening anchor Mike Barajas.

"Bill is a graduate of the University of Houston just like his old man and he is following in the broadcasting footsteps," Mike Barajas told mikemcguff.com back in 2013 when Bill Barajas started at KSAT 12.

And then some of you are yelling at me through the screen about ABC13 KTRK Houston anchor Erik Barajas.  Yes, Erik is Bill's and John Paul's cousin.

Isiah Carey called it in 2010. It's the Barajas Media Dynasty.

You can watch John Paul's reporting for KPRC 2 below.
