Cary Docter
Cary was hired in February 1991 as a part-time, weekend assignment editor at then-TV6 – while in his last semester at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. After a roughly ten-month crash course in broadcast journalism as an assignment editor and later a video editor, Cary was promoted to newscast producer.
Cary produced newscasts – from the first version of FOX6 WakeUp and the FOX6 Weekend WakeUp News through to the 10 p.m. news – and worked with some of the talent in southeast Wisconsin.
In 2006, an opportunity to lead a new digital team for FOX6 arose. Cary has been the leader of that team ever since.
