Leaving the Rock for Austin

KTHV (Little Rock) Morning Anchor Rob Evans is leaving the station, but not the Tegna family.

Evans is headed to KVUE in Austin to also do mornings.

"Austin is known for its quirk, hard work, kindness and community. That is Rob to a T. I couldn’t be happier to bring Rob into the KVUE family. We are committed to making Austin better and so is Rob," said Christina Ginn, KVUE's news director. "His experience and dedication to his craft rounds out our already strong morning team."

Before Little Rock, Evans worked in the Ft. Myers, Florida market.

"What’s exciting about Rob is that he’s not just another anchor who sits at a desk, he’s a reporter at heart. He believes in getting out in the community, meeting people and telling the stories of Austin," KVUE President and General Manager Kristie Gonzales said.

He starts the new gig on June 21st.
