Bumped Up in San Antonio

After more than a decade at the station, KSAT’s Stephanie Serna is getting a bump up the food chain, but she’ll need an alarm clock.

The Graham station announced that Serna has been named the anchor for the weekday editions of “Good Morning San Antonio” and “GMSA @9.″

Serna will join Mark Austin, Meteorologist Mike Osterhage and officers Marcus Trujillo and Nick Soliz effective immediately.

“Stephanie has been part of the KSAT family for more than ten years and seeing her growth over that time as a reporter and anchor has been impressive,” said KSAT12′s Vice President and General Manager Phil Lane. “As a San Antonio native, she brings an understanding of this community and its residents to the anchor desk, with a genuine warmth that is perfect for a morning audience who’s looking to our team to start their day off right. We look forward to her contributions to the morning conversation.”

“We know our viewers expect more from us and we know how essential morning news is to the greater San Antonio area, said Phil Lane. “Now, perhaps more than ever, our audiences are looking to us to keep them informed, help them wade through the challenges of living, parenting, and learning through the pandemic. Our morning teams are vital to our continued success.”

Did he really say it just like that or did the Creative Services team just make up quotes?
