I saw on tonight's newscasts that Tuesday 11/24 will be Chris Marrou's last day on the air. KENS 5 will air a special with highlights from his career after the 10 PM news that night.

thought i could watch Kens 5 since he is gone but then i remembered that they have the worst sports team ever. The only one worth watching is Bill Taylor for the weather

Default Sorry I'm A Bit Late With This, But....

I can't believe I just found out today that Chris Marrou had retired from KENS 5. Not back when the announcement was made in the summer. Today. Where have I been?? He was my favorite of all the anchors any time I took a trip down to SA and, in my opinion, was an SA original. He was San Antonio TV news. There was no one else in the news business like him, with the way he delivered the news, his words, his humor, his commentary. In recent years, thanks to the internet, I have had the great privilege of watching some clips from his newscasts, as well as his trademark "Eyewitness Newsreel", right from my perch in the abode. That will all be missed now.

So when I make my next trip down to the Alamo City, it won't be the same when the TV is turned on. He was always there, but it will be such a different place when he isn't. No doubt, he's earned a happy retirement.

Eh. I was more sad when they ****canned Bob Salter. Unlike Marrou, he was witty without coming across as a total d-bag.

Sad to see em' go, but hopefully we'll get someone who's better suited to a HD broadcast to take over the open spot.
