Nyberg recently shared to social media the upcoming changes. "After decades on the night shift, since the start of my career in 1979 with tons of awesome newsies, I am headed to dayside at News 8," Nyberg wrote. "Starting Monday, July 10th, I will be working nearly downright banker's hours. What's it like to go out on a Friday night...I'm about to find out. Somebody alert my hubby that we're going to be hanging out in the evening, this will be quite shocking to him."

Darren Kramer will be Nyberg's partner at 5 p.m. and Dennis House will be her partner at 6 p.m. Carberg and House will serve as the anchors for the 10 and 11 p.m. telecasts, Nyberg wrote.
