Milwaukee meteorologist Lindsey Slater is no longer with WISN-TV (Channel 12).
The popular morning news meteorologist did not appear on the station’s morning newscasts on Feb. 27 and she is no longer featured on the Channel 12 staff page. Slater also updated her LinkedIn page to reflect that she no longer works at the ABC affiliate.
Milwaukee Business Journal first reported the departure. WISN-TV President and General Manager Shawn Oswald told employees that a search has been launched to find Slater’s replacement, according to the report.
Oswald didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment but typically the TV station will not comment on personnel matters. Slater also didn’t immediately respond to a request.
Slater has been the station’s early morning meteorologist since July 2019, when her predecessor Sally Severson reduced her schedule. She is a Milwaukee area native who joined Channel 12 in June 2016.
Prior to WISN-TV, Slater worked for WDBD-TV in Jackson, Mississippi, and served as an intern for WKOW-TV in Madison.
According to her LinkedIn, Slater attended undergraduate school at Carroll University in Waukesha and Mississippi State University. She has a master’s degree in crisis/emergency/disaster management from the Millersville University of Pennsylvania.
