WISN Anchor Patrick Paolantonio says he is leaving the Hearst station by the end of the month.

Paolantonio has been with the station for over two decades and is anchor of station’s 5, 6 and 10 p.m. weeknight newscasts.

"Patrick will leave us at the end of the month. He is making that decision for family reasons," WISN General Manager Jan Wade said. "We certainly appreciate Patrick and all of his many contributions over more than 22 years of service to WISN 12 News. We wish him nothing but the best, and thank him for all of his contributions."

The station says they are looking for a replacement.
