Joe Galli – a longtime reporter / heckler humiliator / human GIF machine / giant colon visitor – is leaving KESQ for a new job in the Lone Star State.
Galli made the announcement on Instagram, saying, “Working at @kesq_news_channel_3 and @cbslocal2 has been an amazing and enriching experience. Honestly one of the best jobs I have ever had. But it’s time to make the next big step in my broadcast journalism career. I have accepted a position as a reporter for @kabb29 & @news4sa in #SanAntonio Texas.”
“I love and cherish the time I spent with all the wonderful people here in the Coachella Valley,” Galli added. “I’ve made lifelong friends and got to be very close to family, which is a luxury many TV reporters do not get. This next step will be a challenge I am looking forward to taking on with gustos and determination. I’ll be on air in the CV for a couple more weeks before I make my new home in Alamo City. In that regard, I will forever remember the wonderful people of the 760. #ReporterLife”
Galli joined KESQ in 2014 after working gigs in the Poconos of Pennsylvania and Toledo, Ohio.
He leaves the Coachella Valley without ever taking me up on my offer of a free beer for winning that weird tournament thing we did way back when and will be missed from the local teevee.
If Joe doesn’t want that free beer, I’ll take it!
