FTVLive's record for longest stint at one TV station is almost 5 years. 

This Corpus Christi Anchor just marked his 40th year at the station. 

KIII Anchor Joe Gazin has been doing the news at this Tegna station for 40 years.

Wait! He hasn't been offered a buyout yet?

“I'm so humbled to be part of only a few in the country who have sat in the anchor chair with one station through so many impactful events since 1977.” said Gazin. “In today’s world, news is on all devices and in front of viewers all the time. This is still an industry where information is at the forefront of serving our communities.”

“Having Joe at the anchor desk or on a special assignment brings a level of credibility unmatched in our area,” said Oscar Garcia, News Director. “He exemplifies our 3NEWS moniker of people you know and trust.”

Gazin has reported from Cuba, China, Austria, Colombia and other countries. He also anchored live coverage of the Selena murder and has kept viewers and listeners informed during Texas hurricanes Allen in 1980, Bret in 1999, and recently, Hurricane Harvey in August. Gazin continues to anchor the 6 and 10pm weekday newscasts and can be seen actively involved with several local charitable organizations throughout the year.
