Brandon Schaff, a former sports anchor and news reporter at KIII in Corpus Christi, announced<\/a> on Sunday, September 27 he would be returning to Texas for his next professional opportunity after an approximately yearlong stint at WTHR, the NBC affiliate in Indianapolis. Originally from the Chicago area, it marked Schaff’s return to the Midwest after he\u00a0earned his bachelor’s degree at Indiana University Bloomington and a master’s degree from Medill at Northwestern University, per his WTHR bio page.<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, Schaff’s move back to Texas will trade in the Texas Gulf Coast backdrop for the state capital. Schaff revealed he will join Austin’s ABC affiliate station, KVUE, as a reporter.<\/p>\n

The Central Texas transfer also signifies\u00a0Schaff’s reunion with his fianc\u00e9e, KVUE meteorologist Kristin Walla<\/a>. She joined KVUE in May 2026, with her bio page noting she met her fianc\u00e9e while also working at KIII.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My next chapter takes me back to Texas. I\u2019ll be rejoining my fianc\u00e9e [Kristin Walla]\u00a0as a reporter at KVUE in Austin. I can\u2019t wait to call the Lone Star State home again!” Schaff wrote, adding: “I\u2019ll always appreciate the Hoosier hospitality everyone showed me while I was here. I\u2019ll be a Hoosier for life!”<\/p>\n
