We Have a First....

You knew once the May book got rolling, it wouldn’t be long before longtime talent started announcing their impending exit from the station.

Longtime Anchors almost never sign off from a station unless it is a ratings period.

WHO (Des Moines) Dan Winters has spent nearly 2 decades doing the news at the Nexstar station.

Winters said the recent losses of his sister and nephew made him realize that he wanted to spend more time with his family.

“Shannon and I have worked opposite schedules since the day we met,” Winters wrote on Facebook about his schedule with his wife. “Now, we have three kids who are growing so fast. All four of them deserve a guy who will be there for dinner and bedtime."

Winters he plans on staying in central Iowa, "It’s a remarkable place to live and raise a family, and it is where we intend to stay. You won’t see me on TV, but you will still see me around town.”
