The Commute is Over

For the past 11 years, KPRC General Manager Jerry Martin has run the Houston station, while his family has lived in Indianapolis.

Now, Martin is putting an end to the long commute to work and is headed home to Indy.

Martin announced that he is retiring from the Graham media station.

“Timing is important in work and life, and this was the time to retire with the station I love on top,” Martin says. “I’m happy to reunite with my family in Indianapolis and — at the same time — put an end to an 11-year commuter marriage to my wife of 37 years.”

Before moving to Houston, Martin was GM of WXIN/WTTV in Indianapolis, from 2004 to 2011.

When he moved to Houston, his family stayed behind in Indianapolis.
