Megan Lee, a graduate of Royal Oak High School, is leaving her job at NBC affiliate WTMJ in Milwaukee next month to return home and work as a general assignment reporter for WXYZ.
Lee, a 2021 graduate of Central Michigan University, started her career in 2021 at WKNB-TV in Youngstown, Ohio, as a reporter and weekend anchor. In July 2023, she went to the Milwaukee station.
“I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to live out my dreams of reporting in the city that raised me," Megan told her station in a story posted on the WTMJ website. "I grew up watching the talented journalists at WXYZ, and I’m excited to work alongside them.”
Her last day at the station is May 26. She starts at WXYZ on June 3.
"Megan has been much more than a skilled storyteller while at TMJ4. She’s been a model newsroom citizen, always stepping up when we need it most," said the Milwaukee station's editorial director, Nicole Buckley.
"Whether it’s covering a shift outside her usual duties, offering a helping hand without hesitation, or sparking conversations about how to shine a spotlight on important voices," Buckley said. "Even on tough days, Megan’s positivity and enthusiasm have been a bright spot in the newsroom."
