KHOU says goodbye to "Best Local TV Personality"
Fans of Scotty Kilmer's popular Saturday Crank It Up auto show on KHOU-11 likely got a surprise this morning: June 30 was Kilmer's last day at the station, which he recently announced on the busy message board devoted to the show.
Our own Catherine Athearn spoke to Kilmer, who says the split was not amicable. Basically, KHOU management told Kilmer, named the Best Local TV Personality by the Houston Press, that it would no longer pay him for his services. So, Kilmer decided to walk from the TV show and from the related message board (which apparently is under attack from spammers now).
Earlier this week, Kilmer posted that he was working on potential local and national deals with Fox television. Here's hoping he makes it back to the air soon.
In the meantime, perhaps blogHOUSTON should set him up a temporary car-repair forum!
