Long-time 9News morning anchor Kyle Dyer, for 18 years a fixture of the Denver morning TV scene, will leave the wake-up newscast to become a part-timer in July under a new multi-year contract.
Dyer will anchor the 11 a.m. and noon newscasts at KUSA and will provided taped pieces for the morning shows under a new deal she requested from management.

“We offered her (a contract) to stay on fulltime,” News Director Patti Dennis said. “She wanted to renew her contract but in a different role, citing family obligations. She’ll no longer have to come in at 3 a.m.”

Her daughters are now 11 and 9, Dyer said, with increasing homework and after-school activities. “It’s hard to be present. It’s something I’ve thought about the last couple of years.” Additionally, she’s been keeping “these weird hours” since December 1993, even before she landed at KUSA.

The adjustment “will be just as weird for viewers” as it will be for her, Dyer said. But she reminds those who have had morning coffee with her for nearly two decades, “I’ll be there on tape.”
