MILWAUKEE, WI (July 8, 2025) – Bill Walsh has been named anchor of the CBS 58 News at Noon and 4 p.m.
Walsh takes over for Mike Strehlow, who announced his ‘semi-retirement’ earlier this summer. Strehlow is stepping back from anchoring newscasts and will continue to serve as host and producer of “CBS 58 Sunday Morning” each week.
“I’m honored to accept this role at CBS 58. It’s a privilege to take on this responsibility, and an even greater one to follow in the footsteps of someone as trusted and steady as Mike Strehlow,” said Walsh.
“Bill is a fantastic anchor who brings warmth and heart to his broadcasts,” said Jessie Garcia, News Director of CBS 58. “Viewers already know and respect him, and this new team will carry on our tradition of Hometown excellence.”
Walsh joined CBS 58 in April of 2013 and is currently the anchor of the CBS 58 weekend evening news. He will officially join Amanda Porterfield and meteorologist Rebecca Schuld on the CBS 58 News at Noon and 4 p.m. on Monday, August 25th. A replacement for Bill’s position on the CBS 58 weekend evening news is underway.
