Long-Time Green Bay News Anchor Tom Milbourn Retires

Long-time WLUK-TV news anchor Tom Milbourn has announced his retirement effective next month. Since joining the station in 1994, Milbourn has helped establish the station’s reputation as a news leader in the Green Bay/Fox Cities television market. Milbourn’s involvement in the community has been widespread, not only more than a thousand appearances as a master of ceremonies, but also personal involvement in many organizations.

Milbourn’s television career included serving as news director and anchor in Madison, Lansing, Mich., and Champaign, Ill. before coming to Green Bay in 1987.

“It was a bittersweet decision to make, but I’m excited about new challenges and opportunities. Our lives in northeast Wisconsin have been more rewarding than I could have imagined. Friends and opportunities helped make this our home and we plan to continue to be part of the community,” said Milbourn.

Milbourn’s final newscast is Nov. 20.
