KENS 5 sports anchor Nate Ryan signs off after familiar face makes a comeback
For KENS 5 viewers, the announcements mark a changing of the guard - with one familiar voice signing off and another returning to the lineup.
San Antonio's sports fans will notice a shift on their screens as KENS 5 anchor Nate Ryan ends his tenure at the local CBS station after more than four years leading the Sports Department. At the same time, former anchor Casey Viera is returning to the lineup, after departing in May 2025. Ryan shared his excitement in an Instagram post, expressing gratitude for the friendships he built and emphasizing that his dedication was to the people of San Antonio.
His final broadcast is set for Thursday, November 5th, though his future plans remain undisclosed. Viera, who joined KENS 5 in January 2022 and hosted the 6 and 10 p.m. sportscasts, is thrilled to be back for what he describes as an exciting period in the city's sports history. He has kept himself busy with play-by-play commentary for St. Mary's University and Our Lady of the Lake University athletics during his absence.
