KHOU 11's Courtney Zubowski joins the I-Team
To contact us Click HERE
The KHOU I-Team is adding a new reporter to its ranks and station management didn't have to go far to find her.
Current KHOU reporter Courtney Zubowski will step into the new slot a KHOU publicity representative has confirmed to me.
"I'm looking forward to this new opportunity," Zubowski told mikemcguff.com. "KHOU has some of the best talent around and I'm proud to be part of the team."
Zubowski joined KHOU 11 in January of 2008. She came from another Belo station, KTVK in Phoenix. Before that she anchored and reported at KFDM in Beaumont. She graduated from the University of Southern California's Annenberg School of Communication and Houston's Bellaire High School.
I'm personally excited about Zubowski's promotion. Why? I think I might have mentioned before that Zubowski and I were in the same elementary class together!
The KHOU I-Team has gone through some changes over the last few years. We saw the unit add a bunch of reporters in 2010 (the unit's members were eventually dropped down to the original number). Then the award winning Mark Greenblatt left for ABC News to be replaced with Scott Noll from WREG Memphis.

Samantha Jordan, the on-air web reporter for 740 KTRH, is leaving the station after two years.
She's heading to WDBO 96.5 as a reporter and anchor in Orlando, FL.
"I’ve got all my friends and family there and it feels great to be able to have this opportunity to work with an amazing news station in the city I grew up in," Jordan told me in an email. "I appreciate all that KTRH has done for me. They brought me to a major market where I learned valuable lessons and I will miss the team that I’ve worked with every day."
It was reported in late May that Jordan was leaving Houston, but that was retracted. She says the deal was not "set in stone yet" at that point.
Jordan's last day will be June 26th.

With mixed emotions, my family and I are leaving Houston and moving to Seattle. We are terribly excited to raise our two young boys closer to family, but Houston will always hold a special place in my heart.
This city and it's people welcomed us, and our kids will always be native Texans.
Special thanks to everyone at Local 2, especially @RandyMcIlvoy @adamclanton @Allen_Reid @DarylGeorge. I couldn't have been more blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful and talented people in the sports department.
Thank you, Houston!

To contact us Click HERE
Samantha Jordan, the on-air web reporter for 740 KTRH, is leaving the station after two years.
She's heading to WDBO 96.5 as a reporter and anchor in Orlando, FL.
"I’ve got all my friends and family there and it feels great to be able to have this opportunity to work with an amazing news station in the city I grew up in," Jordan told me in an email. "I appreciate all that KTRH has done for me. They brought me to a major market where I learned valuable lessons and I will miss the team that I’ve worked with every day."
It was reported in late May that Jordan was leaving Houston, but that was retracted. She says the deal was not "set in stone yet" at that point.
Jordan's last day will be June 26th.
