Jerry, who spent the last 13 years as Executive Producer of the 5, 6 and 10 pm newscasts at KTRK-13, left the ABC O&O in Houston last week.
Before his tenure at KTRK, Jerry was the News Director for KMID-TV in Midland.
In 1989, he helped launch Telemundo San Antonio’s “Noticiero 60” and was the station’s first Assignment Editor and Assistant News Editor.
