Sarah Acosta, veteran KSAT-12 anchor with 16 years in news and 8 at the station, is calling it quits this Saturday—though she’ll stay in San Antonio for what’s next. She’s part of a wave of seasoned journalists leaving KSAT since spring 2024, including Mark Austin, Jessie Degollado, Marilyn Moritz, Mike Osterhage, Ursula Pari, and David Sears—all departing amid Graham Media Group’s cost-cutting buyouts. The local TV news landscape is under siege: ad revenue’s down, streaming’s rising, and audiences are shifting how they get their news. KENS 5 is also reeling from layoffs. Beyond anchors, meteorologist Elliot Wilson was arrested on assault charges, while longtime KSAT anchor Steve Spriester retires after 30 years—and KENS 5’s Deborah Knapp, who spent 50 years there, is also retiring. Big changes are reshaping San Antonio’s newsrooms, and the future remains uncertain for both stations and their reporters.
