Laura Caso, evening anchor at WKYC Cleveland, is departing the station after four years. She starts at WHDH Boston in July. 

“The thought of doing what I love with my family & childhood friends by my side is truly surreal,” Caso said on X. “Cleveland, you are such an incredible city. More soon!”

Caso announced her departure on WKYC’s 4 p.m. newscast June 17. She started at the Tegna station in 2020, as co-anchor of What Matters Most at 6 p.m. with Russ Mitchell, according to Cleveland.com, then moved to 3News at 4 and the 7 p.m. newscast Front Row. 

Her final day at the station is Friday, June 21. 

Before WKYC, Caso worked at Nexstar Media Group’s WAVY Norfolk, Virginia, for four years, and Tegna’s WTLV-WJXX Jacksonville, Florida, before that. 

She said on the WKYC newscast: “I came here literally not knowing anyone, and after four-plus years, I’m leaving with friends turned family. I’m so grateful. I’ve worked with the best in the business. You have the best team here.”

Caso co-anchored the 7 p.m. news at WKYC with Jim Donovan, who retired from the station last week. 

WHDH is an independent station owned by Sunbeam Television.
