KSAT anchor Steve Spriester is leaving the San Antonio ABC affiliate after 30 years.
Spriester will be joining Perfected Claims, a legal advocacy firm, as their head of strategic communications. His last broadcast on KSAT will be August 27.
“Steve has been a cornerstone of San Antonio’s media landscape for over three decades. But beyond the headlines, he’s built deep relationships, listened to his community, and shared stories that have resonated with viewers,” said Ashley Parker, vice president and general manager of KSAT. “While we’ll miss seeing him on the air, we are thrilled for Steve’s next chapter.”
He started as a general assignment reporter in 1995. He became a weekend anchor in 1996, a weekday 6 p.m. anchor and investigative reporter in 1998 and the anchor for 5, 6 and The Nightbeat four years later.
“It hasn’t been an easy decision to step away after all these years at KSAT. The station has been my home, and I’m grateful for the support I’ve received,” Spriester said. “But it’s time for the next chapter. I am deeply thankful to the viewers and the community who have welcomed me into their homes, engaged with me on a personal level, and made San Antonio a better place.”
