Anchor Mark Austin retires from KSAT after waking up San Antonio families for more than two decades. RJ Marquez sat down with Mark to talk about what's next in his life.
– For more than two decades, Good Morning San Antonio anchor Mark Austin has been a part of our mornings and our KSAT family.
“This was an amazing season of my life,” Mark said. “I feel fortunate that I was able to put down roots, spread my wings as a broadcaster, go through a variety of different positions, from anchoring to doing weather, to doing mornings to doing a little bit everything.” However, one of Mark’s fondest moments at KSAT was covering the presidential inauguration after the 2016 election.
“It’s the first thing people ask: ‘What are you going to do now?’ It took 20 years to mess up my body clock. It’s going to take some time to undo that. As far as what’s next, I’m also telling people — for a guy that’s used to having a plan for everything, there is no plan,” Mark said. “I’ve set kind of a placeholder for myself on Facebook and it’s basically going to be where I can do future content when I’m rested up, ready to come back, ready to get back in the game and create content to interact with. The page already exists and it’s called, well, the most famous firewood around this part of Texas is Post Oak. It’s the best wood for barbecuing and smoking anything. It doesn’t overpower like Mesquite does sometimes. I was like, ‘Post oak. That’s catchy.
