Quick note to congratulate Heidi Renpenning, a reporter with KINT-TV Channel 26 (cable Channel 2) on her recently announced pregnancy. Heidi and her husband, lawyer Rogelio Rodriguez, were married several months go and now they're expecting their first child. Heidi is about three months into her pregnancy so expect her baby in the early fall.
She'll join KINTers Karla Mariscal and Ariadna Lopez as Mamas del Canal 26.

Isn't it interesting that shortly after Gene Savard says he's leaving town that we get this news. Hmmmmm......

From Newsblues.com:
(Also owners of KTSM TV El Paso)
White Knight Broadcasting's WVLA-33-NBC and Communication Corp's WGMB-44-Fox in Baton Rouge (Market #95) have shuttered their combined news department and laid off staff. Both stations will continue to air newscasts, but they will originate from Comm Corp sister station KETK-56-NBC in Tyler, TX (Market #111).
Yesterday, we told you that Comm Corp's KWKT-44-Fox in Waco (Market #95) had also canned its news department and would pick up a 9 p.m. newscast from KETK-56-NBC.
White Knight Broadcasting and Communication Corp were both rescued from bankruptcy in 2007 by Silver Point Capital, a hedge fund specializing in takeovers of companies in financial distress.
Wonder what is future at KTSM
