Fox 7 reporter Katie Pratt announced on social media<\/a> Wednesday, August 26, that her time at the popular Austin TV news station has come to an end. Her last day on air at Fox 7 Austin appeared to be\u00a0a\u00a0day prior on August 25<\/a> as she was usually a part of the station’s shows from\u00a05 to 6:30 p.m. and 9 to 10:30\u00a0p.m.<\/p>\n “Moving to Austin was meant to be a stepping stone, but I never imagined how deeply I’d fall in love with this city and the incredible people in it,” Pratt wrote on Facebook. “Leaving makes saying goodbye so bittersweet.”<\/p>\n While she did not specifically say what caused her departure in the post, Pratt reflected on her journalism career covering Texas’ capital city.

She also covered\u00a0popular Austin\u00a0events\u00a0such as South by Southwest (SXSW),\u00a0NASCAR races\u00a0at the Circuit of the Americas and even following the Texas Longhorns last year to Columbus to play Ohio State.\u00a0<\/p>\n “It has been the honor of a lifetime,” Pratt continued. “Austin, Texas will forever hold a special place in my heart.”<\/p>\n Pratt concluded by saying she plans to move back to Dallas to spend time with her family and friends as well as ride her horse.
