Houston Station Cancels Newscast, Because....

KPRC (Houston) is ending their 4:30 AM newscast.

Anchor Owen Conflenti posted about the move on his social media.

But here’s the rub…

Sources tell FTVLive that the reason that the station is pulling the plug is due to a lack of Producers.

“Producer staffing is so bad we are now short about half of where we need to be and are canceling newscasts,” said a station insider to FTVLive.

Station sources say that KPRC is finding it very difficult to find Producers and trying to find one that wants to produce the 4:30 AM newscast is really hard.

So, the newscast is canceled for now.
