Deleste, who has 32 years of experience in broadcast journalism, has spent the last 18 years with News 3 Now. She began on News 3 Now This Morning alongside Rob Starbuck.

“This is such a different job because truly every day is different,” she said. “The variety of what we can report on, witness and experience is like none other.”

Throughout her time in Madison, she has reported on many impactful events including the elections of three different presidents, three Wisconsin governors, a Packers Super Bowl win and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Deleste also showcased everyday heroes making a difference in communities across southcentral Wisconsin.

Her last day is April 24.
