Cantú returns to full-time anchor job at KEYE

February 16, 2012 by Veronica Villafañe

KEYE has offered Fred Cantú a full-time job at the station where he has worked off and on for 10 years.

Back in November of 2011, “Uncle Fred,” took a job at a Home Depot to make ends meet after his previous contract at the CBS affiliate was not renewed, even though he remained as a freelancer for the station’s morning news.

Fred told the Austin American-Statesman he left the job at the hardware chain last Friday because KEYE-TV made him a better offer: “I do have a contract, but I don’t know how long it is,” Fred told the paper. “It’s a couple of years at least, so I have some job security.”

Fred’s bio is not yet up on KEYE’s site.
