Mike Strehlow, Anchor

Mike Strehlow has been a member of the CBS 58 News team since day one. He anchored the station’s very first newscast in March of 1996. In September of 2025, Mike stepped away from the anchor desk to begin a new chapter at CBS 58. Now in semi-retirement, the Marinette, Wisconsin native and lifelong Wisconsinite continues his role as host and reporter for Weigel Broadcasting's weekly news magazine, CBS 58 Sunday Morning. “This new role offers me the best of both worlds; continued meaningful work with my CBS 58 family, and added family time with my wife, our adult children and their spouses.”

In 2014, Mike was inducted into the Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Silver Circle. The Silver Circle honors outstanding individuals who have devoted 25 years or more to the television industry, and who have made significant contributions to their local television market. Mike was inducted into the Milwaukee Press Club's Media Hall of Fame in October of 2025. Below are links to some of the stories Mike has shared with our viewers in recent years.

Prior to his employment at CBS 58, Mike was a reporter and fill-in anchor for WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee. He began his broadcasting career in 1982 at WXOW-TV in La Crosse as a reporter and anchor. Mike also worked as a reporter and fill-in anchor for WBAY-TV in Green Bay. He graduated from UW La Crosse in 1982 with a degree in Mass Communications.
