Ryan Houston, a daytime anchor and reporter currently at WPCO in Cincinnati, will be joining the WPXI-TV news team in a similar role at the end of December.
“We are excited to have someone with his experience, and passion to help people, join our newsroom. Whether on the anchor desk or reporting in the field, Ryan will become a valuable member of our team of dedicated journalists,” said Scott Trabandt, WPXI news director.
In Cincinnati, Houston also hosted a trouble-shooting segment titled “Houston, We Have A Problem.” It is unclear if he will be doing a similar help segment.
Thousands of people took part in the 10th Annual Walk Ahead For A Brain Tumor Cure this morning.

This event has raised millions for research and I’m told all of the money will stay right here in Cincinnati.

Houston, who grew up in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, worked for three years at the Ohio ABC affiliate. His previous jobs were at WALB in Albany, Ga., WRDW in Augusta, Ga. and WAPT in Jackson, Miss.
He is a graduate of the University of Central Arkansas.
“This wasn't an easy decision because I've grown to love all things Cincinnati,” Houston said Tuesday in a Facebook post announcing the move.” On the other hand, in a tweet during the NFL Pittsburgh-at-Cincinnati game Nov. 24, Houston foreshadowed his station change by posting “I feel like the #Bengals might actually win today. However, I wouldn’t be mad if the #Steelers won.”
