Alex Wehrley, the latest to leave Dallas-based CW33’s early opening Eye Opener program, has at least one new media job in her brand new home of Los Angeles.

The former Miss Wisconsin USA says on her Facebook page that she’ll be co-hosting with Maria Menounos Wednesday nights on AfterBuzzTV, a new online network.

Wehrley left her Eye Opener co-host position on June 19th, shortly after Nerissa Knight likewise departed and headed to L.A., where she’s now a reporter with KTLA-TV. Both stations are owned by Tribune Broadcasting.

Eye Opener’s only remaining full-time personality at the moment is Oliver Tull.

Wehrley joined CW33 in fall 2013, replacing Sean Dowling. She was Miss Wisconsin USA in 2009 and went on to work for stations in Rockford, Ill. and Oklahoma City.

“My 1st weekend in L.A. was great . . . Now it’s back to work! I’ve got some really big meetings this week & next and would appreciate your thoughts and prayers,” Wehrley said Monday on her Facebook page.
