Michael Schlesinger, Meteorologist/Reporter
It’s hard to keep up with Michael Schlesinger.
Quite often, you can find him fulfilling his meteorological duties on the CBS 58 Weather desk, providing you with the most updated forecast.
Then again, he might appear live at a festival, a local community happening, or a new business in town. Michael has worked in television for over 25 years, and he believes the overall secret to success lies with being able to connect with the viewers.
Michael also plays an integral part of “CBS 58 Sunday Morning,” reporting on local, hometown stories in a longer-format. This program is unique to our community and allows a greater profile of what’s happening across southeast Wisconsin.
If you have a special story idea for Michael, or a great weather photo (he loves to feature them in his forecasts), feel free to email him at [email protected].
