Hunter Ellis has signed off as morning anchor at Austin CBS affiliate KEYE after three years. Ellis, a former “Survivor” contestant, will focus full-time on making documentaries:
[h/t Gary Dinges]“It is bittersweet, as I am very excited to return to the world of documentary television, but I will miss the viewers and the loyalty they showed us as we built the show from scratch,” Ellis wrote on Facebook. “It has been a true privilege to share all the news and events, good and bad, over the past few years. It has made me appreciate the town we live in. I am happy to say we will continue to call Austin home, I will just be on the road more, and will be destroying my alarm clock! A very sincere thank you to all our viewers, and to all those I worked with who made those early mornings easier and more fun. Time to kick the tires and light the fires … Many great adventures ahead!”
