KCAU (Sioux City) morning anchor Mallory Smith has left the station, but she’s staying in the Nexstar food chain.

Smith is getting a bump up to WGNO (New Orleans) where she will be a weekend anchor and weekday reporter.

“The past 3 years have gone by too fast. Mallory has been a tremendous colleague, mentor, and friend during her time here at KCAU. Our station is going miss Mallory, but we’re thrilled that she’s staying within the company and moving on to a great opportunity in New Orleans,“ said KCAU News Director Andy Bottger.
