FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AUSTIN, Texas — Sept. 16, 2025 — KBVO, KNVA and KXAN, Austin’s No. 1 news broadcast TV station, today announced the greenlight of a new original lifestyle series, Lifestyle Austin TX, helmed by award-winning journalist, storyteller, former KXAN anchor/reporter and entrepreneur Catenya McHenry. Lifestyle Austin TX debuts Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025, at noon on KBVO-TV. Watch Lifestyle Austin TX on KBVO Saturdays at noon, reruns on KNVA Sundays at 5:30p.m., or anytime on the KXAN+ app, streaming on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Samsung TV. Watch shorts on YouTube and social media.
A passionate champion for entrepreneurship, McHenry takes viewers on a weekly energetic journey through Austin’s dynamic landscape, uncovering powerful stories of the challenges, triumphs, fears, and everyday realities of owning a business. Lifestyle Austin TX brings audiences closer to the brilliant minds shaping some of the city’s coolest and under-the-radar shops, restaurants, real estate, music scenes, and events. Each episode, shot on location, immerses viewers in a different region of Austin — from downtown to central, east, west, north, and south — highlighting each neighborhood’s vibrant character.
“Entrepreneurs are a cornerstone of the global economy, yet the relentless grind, personal sacrifice, doubt, stress, and purpose behind launching and growing a business often go unseen,” said McHenry, creator, executive producer, entrepreneur and host. “I’ve heard people say, ‘I’ve driven by that place countless times and have never stopped to eat or shop,’ so I’m excited to not only offer a fresh way to share Austin-centric human interest stories — connecting viewers with the creators behind their favorite hangouts, but also help locals and tourists discover something new. And I hope the show encourages viewers to explore more of Austin — embracing new experiences, whether it’s trying a new restaurant, shopping at hip spots, or simply having fun.”
“We were very interested in Lifestyle Austin TX because of its local appeal and unique concept,” said KXAN General Manager Eric Lassberg. “There’s nothing like it that exists right now, and we are thrilled to add Lifestyle Austin TX to our portfolio of programming.”
Lifestyle Austin TX is produced by McHenry’s production company, VisionAries, an Austin-based production firm committed to developing original content that elevates stories of bravery and women’s issues for streaming and broadcast platforms.
