Adam Bennett joins KHOU 11 from KEYE Austin

KEYE Austin reporter Adam Bennett joins KHOU 11

Adam Bennett

After three years in Austin, KEYE reporter Adam Bennett joins KHOU 11 in Houston as a reporter. You can say Bennett has broadcasting in his blood.

UPDATE APRIL 2024
Adam Bennett leaves KHOU Houston for KVUE Austin

His father, Dan, a Dallas Cumulus Media executive, has worked in radio for more than 40 years. In fact, I've even reported on this very blog that the Bennett patriarch was named head of Houston's 104.1 KRBE from his DFW post.

Not to be outdone, Bennett's mother formerly worked as a sales executive for KHOU sister station WFAA in Dallas.

"Adam's a sharp young man who did some solid work in Austin," KHOU Executive News Director Philip Bruce told mikemcguff.com. "We're glad to have him on our team."

"I have been beyond lucky to call KEYE and Austin home during the last three years," Bennett said. "Even though this new job is a great opportunity professionally and personally, leaving was still a very difficult decision to make."

Before reporting in the state capitol, Bennett spent more than two and a half years at KAMR/KCIT in Amarillo, first as a reporter and then as a weekend anchor/producer.

Bennett is a 2009 graduate of the University of Texas at Austin where he received a degree in Communication Studies.

Adam Bennett leaves KHOU Houston for KVUE Austin

Adam Bennett is leaving his KHOU 11 Houston reporting position and returning to Austin to join KVUE, TEGNA's sister station.

Here is what Bennett posted on X:

"After 9 years, today is my last day at KHOU.

Starting April 29, I’m excited to join the team at our Austin station, KVUE, as Weekend AM Anchor/Senior Reporter!

Houston, THANK YOU for welcoming me into your wonderful city and helping me share your stories. Forever grateful."

Bennett will replace Dominique Newland, who left the KVUE weekend morning anchor position for FOX 10 KSAZ Phoenix last year.

Bennett joined KHOU in 2015 from CBS Austin KEYE where he was a morning reporter/multimedia journalist (MMJ).

He got his professional TV start with KAMR NBC 4/KCIT Fox 14 Amarillo as a reporter/weekend anchor/weekend producer.

The University of Texas at Austin grad interned with FOX 7 Austin KTBC and WFAA 8 DFW.

Speaking of North Texas, Bennett comes from a broadcasting family. Adam's father, Dan Bennett, is the Regional Vice President for Cumulus Media, covering the Dallas and Houston radio markets with more than 50 years of radio experience!  In fact, I cover Dan on this very blog.

On the same day of Bennett's announcement, KTXS News 12 Abilene weeknight co-anchor Farrah Walton said she's joining CBS Austin KEYE.  Trason Bragg is joining KHOU around the same time. 

After 9 years, today is my last day at @KHOU.

Starting April 29, I’m excited to join the team at our Austin station, @KVUE, as Weekend AM Anchor/Senior Reporter!

Houston, THANK YOU for welcoming me into your wonderful city and helping me share your stories. Forever grateful 🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/UHN5dOUTYq

VIDEO: Harrison Ford stars as cranky morning anchor in new movie

Hollywood loves to make movies about the TV news business. The best broadcast news film in my opinion is Network (1976). It is also the best prognostication of what was to come. If you haven't seen it, find it and watch it.

The latest TV news flick comes from the producing mind of J.J. Abrams and is called Morning Glory. It stars Rachel McAdams as a producer working with the hardass anchor played by Harrison Ford. Diane Keaton is the other anchor on the network morning news show with Jeff Goldblum as a flustered manager. 50 Cent plays himself. Could be promising.

Here is more of a synopsis from YouTube:

When hard--working TV producer Becky Fuller (McAdams) is fired from a local news program, her career begins to look as bleak as her hapless love life. Stumbling into a job at "Daybreak" (the last--place national morning news show), Becky decides to revitalize the show by bringing on legendary TV anchor Mike Pomeroy (Ford). Unfortunately, Pomeroy refuses to cover morning show staples like celebrity gossip, weather, fashion and crafts -- let alone work with his new co--host, Colleen Peck (Keaton), a former beauty queen and longtime morning show personality who is more than happy covering morning "news." As Mike and Colleen clash, first behind the scenes and then on the air, Becky's blossoming love affair with fellow producer, Adam Bennett (Wilson) begins to unravel -- and soon Becky is struggling to save her relationship, her reputation, her job and ultimately, the show itself.

Morning Glory comes out this Fall.

Farrah Walton joins CBS Austin

Farrah Walton is signing off KTXS News 12 Abilene as weeknight co-anchor. 

UPDATE: Walton announced she is joining Sinclair Broadcast Group's sister station, CBS Austin KEYE. On the same day, KHOU 11 reporter Adam Bennett announced he is joining KVUE Austin.

"It is very bittersweet for me to announce this is my final week at KTXS News," Walton posted on social media. "For the last almost three years, I have had the honor of being one of your news anchors and the privilege of telling your stories.  Thank you for welcoming me into your homes every evening and for making Abilene a home for me."

Walton was promoted to weeknights from weekend anchor in April 2022.

She joined KTX in July 2021.

The Pasadena, California native graduated from San Francisco State University.

Trason Bragg joins KHOU 11 Houston

Trason Bragg is joining KHOU 11 Houston as a weekend morning anchor after working for the CBS Local News Innovation Lab out of the now-named CBS News Texas KTVT in Dallas-Fort Worth, where he was an anchor/reporter for CBS-owned and operated stations nationwide.

Bragg takes over for Lauren Talarico, who left in June 2023.

I am back from my 2024 Washington, DC, work and will return to regular blogging.  Let the Houston and Texas media news flow again! Now, when I'm off, I can replace the lack of blog posts with my documentary, "Runaway Radio."

My DFW readers may recall seeing Bragg on "CBS News DFW Now on TXA21."  And for those in Houston, you'll likely recognize Collin Myers, a meteorologist Bragg worked with starting in 2022 when the news division was launched. 

For three years, Bragg was a reporter and sports anchor/reporter for CBS 46 WGCL (now called Atlanta News First).

He got his television news start with KRGV 5 Rio Grande Valley as a reporter in 2017.

Bragg might look familiar to television viewers outside of Texas and Georgia since he appeared in season three of BET’s reality show Baldwin Hills. According to IMDB, he was also featured in Whiz Kids (2013) and Almost Famous: The Series (2012).

TRIVIA TIME
Speaking of reality shows and local TV talent, which former Texas TV meteorologist appeared on CBS' Big Brother?

But wait, there's more.

Sports fans in California might recognize Bragg's name from when he played football for UCLA. 

Meanwhile, Adam Bennett is leaving KHOU 11 for KVUE Austin.

Dominique Newland joins FOX 10 Phoenix

Dominique Newland has left her KVUE Austin weekend morning anchor/reporter role and is heading to FOX 10 KSAZ Phoenix.

UPDATE FEBRUARY 2026
Dominique Newland joins ABC7 KABC Los Angeles

UPDATE APRIL 2024
Adam Bennett leaves KHOU Houston for KVUE Austin

Here is what Newland posted on Facebook:

"Bittersweet news to share, this is my last full week at KVUE! 

 

I’m so grateful to the Central Texas community for welcoming me with open arms the last 2 years. 

I’ll keep it short (ish) for now.. but boy, where has the time gone!? I came to Austin knowing very few people and experiencing Texas for the first time. 

I’m now leaving a cowboy boot wearin, BBQ lovin’, “y’all” sayin’ girl surrounded by friends and wonderful viewers who’ve turned into family.  

Please join me with a box of tissues for my last show reporting on Daybreak tomorrow & anchoring Weekend Daybreak Saturday and Sunday.

Stay tuned for what’s next."

Newland joined KVUE in November 2021.

She arrived in Austin from KYMA 11 - 13 Yuma, Arizona where she had worked since June 2019.

The Indiana University Bloomington grad interned with the CBS The Late Late Show, WISH 8 and WTHR 13 Indianapolis.

Grace White leaves KHOU 11 Houston

Grace White announced she's leaving her Consumer Investigative Reporter position with KHOU 11 Houston after nearly a decade.

Here is what White posted on Instagram.

"Some big news to share! I never thought I would leave KHOU this year, but sometimes unexpected doors open. In August, our family will be moving to Canada for my husband’s job.

First, I want to say thank you Houston and @khou11 for so many wonderful years. It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a decade! I still remember what it felt like when I walked into Allen Parkway in 2014. I was thrilled to be working in my hometown. 

From covering dozens of cold cases and launching our “Missing Pieces” series, to in-depth coverage on Harvey and now Beryl, and most recently taking on consumer investigations - it’s been an incredible ride! The cases we have covered and the families we have worked with will always be close to my heart. 

For this next chapter, we’re excited to live in Calgary and give our kids ages 8, 5 and 3 the chance to explore beautiful Banff and the mountains! Hellooooooo snow ☃️ We do plan to eventually return to Houston, this will always be home."

White has been with KHOU 11 since October 2014 as a reporter. 

Since then, we have watched her family grow to include three children.

When Tiffany Craig left Channel 11 in 2023, White was promoted to her Consumer Investigative Reporter role. 

White joined KHOU 11 from News 4 San Antonio WOAI where she was an anchor/reporter. 

Before that, she worked as a reporter for WEAR ABC 3 Pensacola, Florida, and KLFY NEWS 10 Lafayette, Louisiana.

The native Houstonian graduated from Memorial High School and the University of Mississippi and interned with competitor ABC13 KTRK, Houston City Hall, and the White House.

KHOU 11 has had many job moves recently.  We've seen departures from Stephanie Whitfield, Kimberly Davis, Adam Bennett, Matt Musil and Robert Springer.  Then we've seen arrivals from Trason Bragg, David Loving and Luis Ortiz.
