Two is leaving and a new one is coming in at KOLD in Tucson. 

Here are a couple of internal emails that were sent to the staff at the Raycom station and obtained by FTVLive: 

I say this every time, but it’s never easy to write these emails.  Monica Grimaldo is leaving the news department to pursue other ventures.   Monica has done an amazing job here over the past two years, covering every kind of story you can imagine.  Please join me in thanking her for all she’s done for KOLD and our viewers.  Her last day in the news department is Saturday, July 22nd.

I  am pleased to announce we have hired a new weeknight anchor.  Brooke Wagner is coming to us from Colorado where she most recently was the weekday morning anchor at KDVR, the Fox station in Denver.  Brooke also anchored mornings at KCNC in Denver and was the main evening anchor in San Diego and Austin.  She has won multiple Emmy awards for her anchoring and reporting.  And, watch out Dan, Brooke is super savvy on social media with more than 83k followers on Facebook!
 
Brooke has been involved in a number of charitable causes, including working with St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect.
 
Brooke is married to Rick and has two children.  Please join me in welcoming them all to our family.  Brooke starts August 28th!
