Nate Kuester, WDJT-TV (Channel 58) morning news co-anchor beside Jessica Tighe, is leaving this month for a job as weeknight anchor at KNWA-TV in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Kuester will “return to his roots.” Both he and his wife have family in the area, according to the station.
He is being replaced by Kathryn Chappell, who became morning anchor of WNDU-TV in South Bend, Ind. in 2013.
She is a native of Lake Geneva and UW-Madison alum.
She will anchor weekday newscasts from 4:30am to 7am alongside Jessica Tighe starting Aug. 10.
They will be the only all female morning news show anchors in the market.
An industry source says Kuester’s contract was not renewed.
