Out the Door in Austin

KXAN has cut ties with Investigative reporter Chris Willis.

Why?

No one's talking ( I love the communications business...I really do)

Willis bio has been stripped from the station's website.  Both general manager Eric Lassberg and news director Chad Cross are not responding to inquiries from those trying to find out what happened.

Willis who has been at KXAN since 1999 was moved from morning anchor to chief investigative reporter about two years ago.

The station has heavily promoted Willis and his investigations and brands itself as the city's "In-Depth. Investigative." station.

But, whatever you do, don't investigate why the station parted ways with their investigative reporter. 

They don't like that.

Hypocrites.
