KIII (Corpus Christi) General Manager Dan Robbins announced that he is leaving the Tegna station at the end of the year.

Robbins has been at the station since 2012 and has been in broadcasting for 40 years.

“I’m reminded of what a good friend of mine said about retirement: “he’s not retiring, he’s going to ‘rewire,’” said Robbins. “I am looking forward to many productive years, living life to its fullest. My family is my life and I’m looking forward to spending more time with my wife, Gina, our eight beautiful grandchildren and three grown children.”

When asked about his next focus, he said the Texas Gulf Coast has a special place in his heart and plans to stay involved with the communities he and KIII has served in South Texas.
