Out The Door in Austin

KXAN Anchor Shannon Wolfson is leaving the station to.....go ahead, say it with me.... spend more time with her family, along with pursuing other professional aspirations.

“If I were to continue in TV news, I’d be staying right here at KXAN. This is one of the strongest news operations in the country, and I have been so lucky to be an anchor at KXAN,”  Wolfson explained. “I would like to thank my KXAN family and our loyal viewers for the incredible support.” 

Wolfson started at KXAN in 2006 as reporter and 9:00 p.m. anchor, then moved to full-time investigative Reporter and then became main evening anchor in 2013. 

“We hate to see Shannon go and we’ll miss her, and at the same time we support her starting a different chapter in her life,” said KXAN News Director Chad Cross. “She’s completing 11 years of incredible contributions at KXAN, and the bar is set high as we search for our next evening anchor,” Cross added.

Of course, we will be paying that new person a lot less than we did Shannon, he didn't add but should have.
