Nexstar Kicks Anchor to the Curb

Elias Johnson joined Nexstar’s WHO (Des Moines) in July of 2022.

Last week, he told the station that he was leaving for a gig outside of TV news. He gave the station a month’s notice and figure he still had a few weeks before signing off.

But, his exit came abruptly.

He says he was called in asked to turn in his keycard and that his belongings would be packed up and sent to him.

Johnson posted about his sudden exit on social media.
