Morning news anchor Meghan Reistad is leaving WDJT-TV (Channel 58)
WDJT-TV (Channel 58) morning news anchor Meghan Reistad said goodbye to her co-workers and viewers during Friday morning's newscasts on the CBS affiliate and sister station WMLW.
Reistad, who has been co-anchoring the morning news on Channel 58 for more than two years, said she is getting married next month and moving to Minnesota.
"I'll keep you guys all posted on the job situation. You might just have to follow me on social media," she said on the air Friday morning.

Reistad, who is from Minnesota, worked at WMTV-TV in Madison and KAAL-TV in Rochester, Minnesota, before joining Channel 58 in April 2020. She co-anchored the 4:30 to 7 a.m. newscast on Channel 58, and the 7 to 9 a.m. newscast on WMLW.
Reistad is the second morning news anchor to leave Channel 58 for Minnesota this spring. Last month, morning co-anchor Pauleen Le, who's also from Minnesota, left the station for a reporter job at WCCO-TV in Minneapolis.
Earlier this month, Frankie Jupiter was announced as a new morning news co-anchor at Channel 58, filling the roster spot vacated by Le, starting in June. Coincidentally, Jupiter's last day at morning news anchor at his current station, WSTM-TV in Syracuse, New York, also was Friday.
Jupiter will join co-anchor Mike Curkov and meteorologist Justin Thompson-Gee on the morning newscasts for the two stations, owned by Weigel Broadcasting.
