Milwaukee CBS affiliate WDJT-TV (Channel 58) is filling the anchor chair being vacated by Mike Strehlow with another familiar face at the station.
Bill Walsh, who most recently has been weekend evening news anchor at Channel 58, will anchor the station’s noon and 4 p.m. newscasts starting Aug. 25.
Strehlow announced his plans for a “phased retirement” in April. The co-anchor of Channel 58’s first newscast in 1996, he will continue to host and produce “CBS 58 Sunday Morning” each week.
Walsh joined Channel 58 as a reporter and fill-in anchor in April 2013. At various times during his tenure at the station, Walsh has co-anchored nightly newscasts at 5 and 10 p.m., anchored a 9 p.m. newscast produced by Channel 58 for sister station WMLW, and was co-anchor of the station’s 4 p.m. newscast when it launched in March 2015.
He’s been the station’s weekend evening news anchor since November 2020.
