Anthony Austin-Reporter/Anchor

aaustin@cbs19.tv

I'm glad to be home!  I was born and raised in Whitehouse.  After graduating from Whitehouse High School (Go Wildcats!), I headed up north to attend the University of North Texas where I earned my bachelors in Broadcast Journalism.

At North Texas, I was heavily involved in the local cable station, NTTV.  I was an anchor and reporter for four years and became the news director my senior year of college.  While at NTTV I covered everything from community issues to the Barack Obama rally.  I interned at WFAA in Dallas where I learned valuable lessons from some of the most respected reporters in the business.   In 2008, I was honored as "Outstanding Student in Broadcast News."

When I'm not covering the latest news, I'm a huge car enthusiast and a fan of college sports and all types of music.  I attend the North Tenneha Church of Christ where I've been since birth.  I love to hear from you and what's on your mind.  If you see me out and about, don't hesitate to say hello.
