Summary
Friday's KWQC TV6 morning broadcast ended with Dustin Nolan announcing on air that it was his last day and that he was stepping away from the news industry.
Nolan said local stations must deliver facts that go beyond "sanitized news" and trends, arguing journalism should push viewers out of their comfort zones and make them think.
The Iowa anchor, who joined the NBC affiliate in 2022, became emotional as he thanked viewers for their trust and praised co-worker and wife Jenna Jackson.
KWQC later posted his farewell on TikTok; Nolan and Jackson won a 2025 Mid-America Emmy for best morning/daytime newscast in small and medium markets.
