An Emmy-winning director at KENS5 has announced his departure after 40 years in television. He stated that his replacement was due to his parent company's adoption of AI and automation. This move is part of a broader restructuring within Tegna, the station's owner. Tegna operates numerous TV stations nationwide and has been implementing changes under its new CEO. The director's exit follows other recent job cuts and retirements at the San Antonio affiliate.
