Longtime KSAT12 anchor Sarah Acosta is leaving the local news channel — but she hinted that she won’t be going far.
A morning news anchor, Acosta’s last broadcast at the station will be on Saturday, Aug. 8. She has been at KSAT since 2018.
“I am most sad about leaving my KSAT family behind, who have been there with me through all my major life milestones — buying a house, getting married, having a baby,” she wrote on Instagram.
Acosta said she’s leaving the news industry altogether.
Acosta, who grew up in Corpus Christi, previously worked as an anchor and reporter for a local station in Sacramento, Calif. She started her career in 2010 as a reporter for the Corpus Christi Caller Times, where she filmed her own video segments about local happenings that earned her spots on TV.
In 2013, she switched over to a TV station in Corpus Christi and moved to Sacramento three years later.
During college at Southern Methodist University, Acosta played on the tennis team and interned at an array of news outlets across Texas.
While she plans to share details about her next steps later, Acosta hinted that she’s staying in town.
“Thank you to our viewers who have been so warm and welcoming to me, and I will continue to see you around San Antonio,” she wrote.
As Acosta prepares to depart, KSAT recently added two fresh faces: reporters Hunter King and Olivia Dague, both Texas natives.
