Morning anchor Ron Trevino is celebrating 30 years at KHOU, the CBS-affiliate in Houston.

“I’ve had the best job in the world … and on many occasions, the worst, because also too numerous to mention, are all the stories that brought you and me to tears,” Trevino writes in a guest post on MikeMcGuff.com. “Triumphs and tragedies and everything in between. Sorry if that sounds like a cliché, but that’s life. And ‘life’ is basically what I still cover, to this day.”

Trevino anchors KHOU’s morning newscast alongside Lily Jang and noon newscast alongside Katherine Whaley. continued…

“Waking up at 2:30 every morning to be at work so early? Well, I will have to get used to that all over again,” Trevino told Houston media blogger Mike McGuff. “I’m buying all new alarm clocks.”

Also at KHOU, Saturday morning anchor Allison Triarsi is leaving her weekend anchor post to return to reporting full time. KHOU Director of Programming Lisa Trapani Shumate says the station will fill in Saturday mornings with various staff members.
