Longtime KSAT 12 reporter Jessie Degollado is now the former KSAT 12 reporter. But the beloved broadcaster won’t leave our TV screens entirely, announcing her new gig at KLRN.

KSAT announced in May that Degollado and five other veteran on-air personalities would retire from the station as part of buyouts offered by parent company Graham Media Group.

Her final day at the station was July 1 after 40 years on the job. But she’s not done telling San Antonio's stories.

Elaine Ayala’s conversation with San Antonio native Jesse Borrego covered so many topics, it had to be split in two. Last week, they talked about the Harlandale High School alum’s acting career and the role he’s probably best known for, Cruzito in the cult classic “Blood In, Blood Out.” This week, Borrego shares his dream of building a full-fledged film and music studio on San Antonio’s South Side. Plus his work to get young Chicanos educated and to the polls, and his involvement in the radio, TV and film program at San Antonio College, which his brother James Borrego heads up.

Elaine Ayala’s conversation with San Antonio native Jesse Borrego covered so many topics, it had to be split in two. They begin with the role Borrego is probably best known for: Cruzito in the cult classic “Blood In, Blood Out.” It’s a movie that fans clung to on old VHS tapes and DVDs. But this May, the Vato Locos began streaming on Hulu, and new generations are seeing it for the first time. It’s only a small part of Borrego’s storied career, which includes acting credits in more than 40 movies and 30 TV shows. He’s also an activist — #vatoslocosvote — mentor and musician, but you’ll hear more about that in part two, dropping June 10.
