A former Central Texas-based television reporter is now on the airwaves in the Midwest. Michael Courier, who previously worked at the ABC-affiliated television station KVUE in Austin, announced he landed a new TV gig in his home state.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Courier revealed his departure from KVUE on October 9 in a Facebook post<\/a> as he bid goodbye to the Lone Star State that he and his wife called home for the past few years. In his message, he also shared that he secured a new reporter and\u00a0anchor role with the ABC-affiliated TV station,\u00a0WZZM in Grand Rapids, Michigan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Although my time in Austin was relatively short, the impact this city and my coworkers had on my life is truly difficult to put into words,” Courier wrote in a caption. “I will forever be grateful for EVERYONE in ATX.”<\/p>\n

Originally from Bay City, Michigan, Courier became a morning reporter for\u00a0KVUE’s Daybreak team in July 2025. At KVUE, he filled in at the anchor desk and covered breaking news, local government, community events and stories across Central Texas.<\/p>\n

Courier began his TV news career in El Paso, where he spent three years as a morning reporter, traffic anchor and fill-in news anchor covering stories for KVIA-TV, according to\u00a0his bio<\/a>.\u00a0Before that, he studied Journalism at the Colorado Media School in Denver before relocating to Texas.<\/p>\n

After four and a half years of living in Texas, Courier said that he and his wife decided to “head back north and go home to Michigan.”<\/p>\n

The pair recently made the move to Grand Rapids, where Courier is now a morning reporter and weekend anchor for WZZM 13. He expressed excitement for the change and added that he’s looking forward to getting to know his home state even better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A former Central Texas-based television reporter is now on the airwaves in the Midwest.
