Austin Investigative Reporter Moving to Atlanta

KVUE investigative reporter Andy Pierrotti is joining Atlanta NBC affiliate WXIA as an investigative reporter.

It’s a move within TEGNA for Pierrotti, who started working at KVUE in Austin in July 2012. He shared the news on his Facebook page.

“I wasn’t expecting to leave KVUE or Austin anytime soon,” Pierrotti told Austin American TV writer Gary Dinges. “It’s the best city and TV station I’ve worked for in my career so far. When an opportunity to join 11Alive (WXIA) in Atlanta presented itself, however, it was a no-brainier. I’ll be joining one of the best investigative units in the country and I couldn’t be more thrilled.”
