KOLN Anchor Kelsie Passolt told her bosses that after 11 years in TV news, she was leaving the business and returning home.

The station did not take long to replace her.

KOLN announced that Madison Pitsch (pictured) is being promoted to the position of co-anchor for the 5, 6, 10 p.m. newscasts.

Pitsch previously anchored the station’s weekend newscasts and most recently the 5pm newscast.

“Madison is the perfect fit for the position,” said Mikel Lauber, Director of News. “We greatly appreciate the trust viewers have placed in Madison and the valuable contributions she brings to our team.”

If she is the “perfect fit,” why didn’t she get this job earlier?

Just asking…
