Andrew LaCombe has been named news director for WLUK-TV in Green Bay. He is a former political and investigative reporter for WLUK from 2013 until 2016.
LaCombe rejoins the station from WLUC-TV in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula where he was news director, leading the operation to four consecutive years of being named Station of the Year by the Michigan Association of Broadcasters. He succeeds veteran News Director Juli Buehler, who announced her retirement after 30 years in the role.
“Andrew is a trusted alumni of FOX 11 News and a graduate of our local community at Lawrence University. I am pleased he is coming back to lead our news division,” said Jay Zollar, Vice President and General Manager of WLUK FOX 11 and WCWF CW14. “Andrew understands our passion for serving and connecting with the local community and will continue to strive to provide quality balanced news and severe weather coverage.”
“Communities need trustworthy and fair news content now more than ever,” LaCombe said. “The people at WLUK understand and cherish the vital role they get to serve in northeast Wisconsin. I am honored to rejoin the WLUK and Sinclair Broadcast Group team, and I can’t wait to get to work.”
LaCombe received his degree at Lawrence University in Appleton and has been a contributing member of his Upper Peninsula community, serving as a board member for the Michigan Association of Broadcasters Foundation, Marquette Symphony Orchestra, Salvation Army of Marquette County, Marquette West Rotary Club, and the U.P. Children’s Museum.
