KSAT reporter Leigh Waldman leaving KSAT at the end of April to report for CNN.
She was in San Antonio for less than three years, but she is leaving her mark.“I’ll be heading to New York City to work as a national and international correspondent with CNN’s Newsource. I’m thrilled for this opportunity to serve a larger community while being a firsthand witness as history is unfolding,” Waldman said.
Waldman said she’s excited to continue learning and perfecting her craft in the Big Apple. And, of course, looks forward to eating the food that New York is famous for. “Pizza. Every. Single. Day. Totally kidding... sort of. New York has so much to offer in terms of culture, history, and entertainment. I also have family that lives in NYC that I haven’t spent nearly enough time with because we live so far apart, I’m eager to get closer to them. Also, lots of airports in NYC, so that means I can easily come back to visit San Antonio any time,” she said.“It will be an amazing adventure,” she said.
In a fitting send-off, Waldman ended her time in San Antonio reporting on two things she loves — a San Antonio Fiesta party and dogs. Her final day of on-air reporting was on April 27 when she hosted the“Thank you San Antonio for an incredible two and a half years! I love this city and the people here. Thank you to KSAT 12 News for accepting me as I am; snorting when I laugh, and copious amounts of glitter and all,” Waldman said.
