Leigh Waldman announced she is leaving her KSAT 12 San Antonio investigative reporting role.
UPDATE: It was later revealed she is joining CNN as a New York-based correspondent for CNN Newsource, reporting for the network’s more than 1,000 affiliate partners.
When I left CNN in 2016 as an intern, I always said I would be back again as a correspondent for this incredible network. After years of hard work, dreams do come true. So thrilled to work alongside these incredible journalists.https://t.co/TnMTKIq0ZA pic.twitter.com/IcgjnBrDBP

Here is a portion of what Waldman posted to Facebook when leaving KSAT:
"My time at KSAT is coming to an end at the end of the month.
I've said it time and time again to our team here, working at KSAT is my favorite thing in the world.
The journalists who serve this community tirelessly every day are unmatched in their dedication, skill, and devotion.
This is not just a job, this is a passion. Management at KSAT took a chance on me coming from Omaha, Nebraska, with only a few years of experience under my belt and has allowed me to continue taking chances."
Waldman added she is keeping her "next chapter quiet for just a little bit longer," but she will share it soon.
Waldman joined KSAT in 2021. In 2023, she was promoted to the KSAT Investigates Team.
She arrived in San Antonio from 6 News WOWT Omaha, Nebraska.
The Texas Tech University grad started her professional TV career with KAVU 25 Victoria as an anchor/producer.
