“Well Central Texas<\/a> I didn’t go too far! Just a few miles down the road!” Leh wrote on social media, adding that she was excited to serve the Austin community and “ready to hit the ground running.”<\/p>\n

She also had a message for her former viewers: “P.S. Waco I miss you so much! I’ll be back to visit!”<\/p>\n

Leh announced her departure from KXXV in August, saying Waco had become home during her time at the station. She said she had poured her heart into covering Central Texas<\/a>, built close friendships and was grateful for how welcoming the community had been.<\/p>\n

“But I’m truly excited for the next chapter of my story,” Leh wrote at the time.<\/p>\n

Leh joined KXXV in August 2023. A Pennsylvania native, she moved to Texas as a child, first to Kingsville and later to Kirbyville, where she graduated from high school in 2017.<\/p>\n

She went on to attend Lamar University, playing on the women’s tennis team for four years before graduating with a broadcasting degree in 2021. Before arriving in\u00a0Waco, Leh worked for KBMT in Beaumont as a reporter, editor and producer for two years.<\/p>\n

It remains unclear whether\u00a0Leh’s departure was connected to the cuts.
