New ND Named in Houston

Keaton Fuchs has been named new news boss of ABC O&O KTRK.

“This is a time in our industry when we are seeing dramatic changes in how and where local viewers want to get their news and information; and given Keaton’s vast experience in content and data strategy, he is the right person to lead KTRK, Houston’s news leader, into the future,” said KTRK GM Wendy Granato.

“There are few newsrooms that can boast the accomplishments that ABC13 can,” said Fuchs. “A station of exceptional, leading reporting that early on embraced the mission of reporters like legendary Marvin Zindler, who fought for what was right - to give a voice to all, and a fearless pursuit of truth. To lead this newsroom in that great tradition while introducing innovations in news gathering and storytelling is an incredible honor. I can’t wait to get started!”

Fuchs was promoted from within. Since 2016, Fuchs has served as a digital producer, investigative producer, and most recently, the head of content and data strategy for the station.

Prior to his tenure at KTRK, he held the roles of assignment editor, producer, reporter and anchor at multiple newsrooms throughout Texas.
