Tegna's Houston Station Hires Comic

It appears that Tegna has hired enough comics to anchor their newscasts, now they are hiring them to man the assignment desk.

KHOU has hired former radio DJ Brian Shannon to work as an Assignment Editor at the station.

Shannon spent years 101 KLOL radio. He left the radio station back in 2019 to join Terry Boyd on the 92.3 KGON Portland morning show.

“Brian’s outstanding comedic talents and timing will combine with Terry’s tremendous market equity to give Portland its most unique, entertaining and compelling morning show in years,” Kim Martinez, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Entercom Portland said at the time.

Now, he brings those same comedic talents to the KHOU assignment desk.

Yep….this is Tegna.
