She is replacing Tim Elliott, who will have an expanded role as a reporter for the ABC affiliate’s evening newscasts.

The Journal Sentinel says this is part of a retooling of its weekend morning newscast. This summer, weekend morning anchor Andy Choi moved to weekdays, co-anchoring with Melinda Davenport, with Elliott.
