HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) After almost 40 years at ABC13, Eyewitness News Anchor Tom Koch has announced he will anchor his last newscast at the end of May. As co-anchor of Houston s #1 morning newscast, Houstonians have started their day with Tom for 33 years. Tom also co-anchored ABC13 s top-rated 4 p.m. news for eight years. For nearly 40 years, I ve been honored and humbled that so many people welcomed me into their homes every day, said Tom. It s been a dream come true for a small town Wisconsin kid to be part of this incredible station and truly great city of Houston. But I ve decided it s time to step aside, turn off that early morning alarm and wake up to a new adventure. A giant thank you to our viewers for supporting me, staying with me, being part of this incredible journey and making this dream come true. I hope in some small way I ve touched your life by keeping you informed, prepared for the day ahead and sending you off with a smile. To my colleagues and management
