Alan Holt is leaving his 3NEWS KIII Corpus Christi chief meteorologist position to join TEGNA sister station News Center Maine WCSH Portland, Maine.<\/p>\n
Holt has been with KIII for 13 years will have his last day on Friday, December 5, 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve grown into my adult life here, both personally and professionally,\u201d Holt said in an online statement<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve celebrated milestones that will forever tie me to the Coastal Bend \u2013 covering Hurricane Harvey, the snow that followed that December, getting married, and welcoming our baby girl into the world.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2021, Holt transitioned from the morning newscast to become KRIS-TV\u2019s chief meteorologist, succeeding longtime weather leader Bill Vessey<\/a> upon his retirement.<\/p>\n Speaking of changes, in 2024, Holt welcomed baby daughter<\/a> Rayleigh.<\/p>\n Before returning home to Texas, Alan spent two years at KTWO in Wyoming, where his work earned him recognition from the Wyoming Association of Broadcasters as one of the state\u2019s top meteorologists.<\/p>\n A San Antonio native, Holt graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a bachelor\u2019s degree in Communication. He later earned a master\u2019s degree in Geosciences with a concentration in Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi State University. During his time at MSU, he was also a proud member of The Famous Maroon Band, where he played snare drum.<\/p>\n \u201cAlan\u2019s deep ties to the Coastal Bend and his dedication to serving this community have been extraordinary,\u201d 3NEWS President and General Manager Rebecca Cantu<\/a> added. \u201cWe understand the strong pull of family and the chance to be closer to loved ones in the Northeast. Though we\u2019ll miss Alan\u2019s leadership and presence in our newsroom, we\u2019re proud to see him take this next step within the TEGNA family.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAlan and I started working at 3NEWS just weeks apart,” said 3NEWS News Director Jonathan Munson<\/a>.\u00a0 “He\u2019s been part of the heart of this newsroom ever since and I\u2019m so glad to say I got to grow alongside him for all these years. He\u2019s been a trusted source of information, a mentor to so many, and a true friend. As a Corpus Christi native, I can say he\u2019s left a mark on this community that will last well beyond his time on the air.\u201d<\/p>\n CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip<\/a> |
