Despite its short time on air, several station alumni went on to more notable positions. After the station closed, news director Christine Lund, who had taken the position two years out of college, went to work for KGO-TV in San Francisco on her way to becoming a well-known anchor for KABC-TV in Los Angeles. Craig Roberts, who joined the station's news staff, was asked to do sports when the sports director quit; he went on to be the sports director of KPRC-TV in Houston. A pair of brothers—Tom Skilling, later of WGN-TV, and Jeffrey Skilling, who would later become the CEO of Enron Corporation—worked at WLXT-TV while in high school; Tom did weather, while Jeff helped in the control room.
