Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in People
KBTX News 3 in Bryan-College Station has promoted reporter Lillian Kosh to Sunday night anchor, a role that puts her in the chair for the 10 p.m. Sunday newscast. She will continue reporting across the Brazos Valley during the week.
Why it matters
The move gives Kosh a regular anchor role after less than two years at the station, where she first arrived as an intern in summer 2024. It also reflects ongoing staffing changes in the station's anchor lineup.
Kosh moved from intern in summer 2024 to full-time reporter in January 2025 and now anchors the 10 p.m. Sunday newscast. The station has not disclosed whether the change alters her overall staffing or compensation.

Roadmap
