Emmy-winning anchor Dustin Nolan resigned on-air from his role at KWQC in an emotional live testimony during Friday morning’s broadcast. “Today is my last day here at KWQC TV Six,” the broadcaster said. “I promise you I have given you everything I have.” While there has been no official confirmation of his reason for resignation, it is widely speculated that the anchor resigned to advocate for more accurate journalism. “I believe that we as a local news station have to be more than trends or sanitized news because it makes people feel uncomfortable,” which has gained the most attention from other news outlets and social media, Nolan said. “It’s too bad that we have to lose honest journalists because we’re losing our freedom of speech,” one user said in a comment on X. Before joining KWQC, the Catholic St. Ambrose University alum worked as a Sports Reporter for WQAD News 8 and as a reporter and anchor at WHBF-TV. He later joined the Iowa-based news outlet, where he worked alongside his wife, Jenna Jackson, with whom he shared his tear-jerking delivery, paying tribute to her as “the greatest co-anchor in life.” Nolan admitted tearfully that the “hardest part” of this decision was knowing he would no longer share the news desk with Jackson. KWQC is yet to comment on his resignation.
