Longtime Nexstar Anchor Departs Des Moines Station

Erin Kiernan signed off from her final newscast with WHO 13 on Monday night, concluding a nearly three-decade career in broadcast journalism serving central Iowans.

Kiernan's tenure included time spent both as an anchor at the news desk and as a field reporter, during which she covered numerous local stories.

A statement from WHO 13, which is owned by Nexstar Media Group, noted that the station will particularly miss her work as a reporter and storyteller. The station also announced that a tribute detailing Kiernan’s career, presented by colleague John Bachman, was aired as part of her send-off.
