I have been taking my beloved dog to JVAH since getting her as a puppy over 16 years ago. After many phone conversations with Dr. Shawan I decided it was finally time to put her down. He helped me with my decision by listening to me and explaining what many of her actions meant. He assured me that she was ready, but that I had to be ready as well, and was very patient when I would call to postpone the inevitable.
I finally did it, and must say it was an extremely positive experience consideri…
With Oprah Winfrey retiring her long running talk show, many TV stations are adding newscasts in her timeslot to fill the programming hole. KSAT 12 announced plans to do that on its Facebook page…but wait there’s more!
KSAT will also have an hour long 10pm newscast. That’s not something very typical for a big 3 affiliate (no other San Antonio station has an hour long 10pm show according to the station). That means the station is pushing The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Nightline back to 11pm. Houston sister station KPRC 2 famously pushed Late Night with Conan O’Brien to a later time slot too.
Here is the press release from KSAT 12′s Facebook page:
Oprah Winfrey says good-bye when her final episode airs on May 25th, 2011. “Oprah was always so well-received
in San Antonio and South Texas,” said KSAT12 Vice-President and General Manager Jim Joslyn, “we are forever grateful to Oprah for the thousands of shows which really changed the face of television forever.”With Oprah’s departure, beginning Thursday, May 26th KSAT12 moves into expansion mode and offers viewers their First Real News at 4 with Ursula Pari, Steve Spriester, Chief Meteorologist Steve Browne
and Greg Simmons.“With the recent explosive growth in South Texas,we’re proud to be the only station in San Antonio which is growing and expanding,” said Joslyn.“We’ve heard from our viewers and we know they lead very busy lives so we’re going to bring them real news at 4pm and we’ll deliver it with the same quality they’ve come to expect from KSAT12.”
And the action just keeps building as Inside Edition will air at 4:30. Inside Edition is one of KSAT12’s highest rated programs, and has built its enduring success by presenting a compelling mix of hard-hitting investigations, exclusive newsmaker interviews, as well as celebrity and pop culture features.
And beginning Tuesday, September 6th, KSAT12 Nightbeat at 10pm expands to one hour.
“This makes the Nightbeat the only hour-long 10pm newscast in the market and that gives us the opportunity to cover more news, expand our news team, and reflect the growth that’s occurring all throughout South Texas” said Joslyn.
Ursula, Steve, Greg, Steve Browne and Isis Romero will lead the entire KSAT12 Nightbeat team for an action-packed hour of news, weather, sports and entertainment.

HISD spokesperson Rebecca Suarez to anchor at Univision 45 KXLN
Tommy Shrader, owner of GTX Computers has just opened a location in Hitchcock. We have used Tommy’s services for over 3 years and have been absolutely thrilled with the excellent turn around times as well as the depth of knowledge he has. The last time we called Tommy, he came to our house and set up our computer network as well as set up the surround sound system for our TV….we never would have figured it out on our own!! During that same visit, he answered those nagging questions that …
When I was involved in my first accident ever, I was so unsure of what exactly to do. The employees at Collision Plus walked over the process with me and made me feel confident in what I needed to do to get my car back to the way it was. I was well informed during the entire process. The day I got my car back I was nothing but impressed with the work. My car looked new again! Unfortunately I was in another accident shortly after and glad to say that my second experience was just as pleas…
HISD Senior Media Relations Specialist/Spokesperson Rebecca Suarez is returning to television as an anchor at Univision 45 KXLN.
I’m told she will anchor the weekend 5 and 10 newscasts, plus work the 10pm three nights during the week.
Suarez was formerly a reporter for Telemundo 47 KTMD from May 2001 to December 2006 according to her LinkedIn profile. Before that she was an assignments editor at KIAH 39 (then KHWB).
Around the time Suarez started working for the Houston Independent School District, she earned her law degree at the University of Houston Law Center.
Clearly her fellow HISD press colleagues will miss her.
“Rebecca has done a terrific job for HISD doing everything from writing press releases, to on-camera interviews to producing a once a week news story and a once a month television interview show that has been nominated twice for an EMMY,” HISD Press Secretary Norm Uhl told mikemcguff.com. “And she did all of this while going to college to get a law degree. She will be difficult to replace because of her wide range of skills, but at least we’ll be able to see her use those talents on TV. Although we hate to lose her, as a former TV guy I understand that the anchor position at Univision is a wonderful opportunity for her.”
Suarez’s last day at HISD will be Friday, May 6. She won’t have anytime off since she is starting at KXLN the following Monday.
