Debbie Lazaga

by WTMJ News
May 3, 2020, 6:04 pm - Updated on February 19, 2024, 12:45 pm
in Staff - WAN, Staff - WMN
Debbie Lazaga

Role: Traffic Anchor/Reporter, Wisconsin’s Morning News and Wisconsin’s Afternoon News

Hometown: Grafton, Wis.

When did she join WTMJ? Feb. 1998 the first time, Jan. 2016 most recently.

  • Twitter (X): @D_La
  • Facebook: Debbie Lazaga – Traffic Reporter 
  • Instagram: @d_la_traffic
  • Threads: @d_la_traffic
  • TikTok: @dee_laz_traffic

Five Fun Facts About Debbie Lazaga:

  • Debbie is a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do.
  • She is the first generation of her family to be born in the U.S. (her parents were born in Cuba).
  • Debbie has Pirate in her ancestry! Olivier Levasseur is a great (great, great, great, great, great) grand-uncle… or something close to it.
  • Technically, she has nine last names.
  • Debbie lived in Spain for roughly six months.

Bio:

Ever since she was a little girl, Debbie Lazaga was fascinated by maps. That planted the seed for her to become one of the most prominent and reliable voices in Wisconsin as Traffic Anchor and Reporter at 620 WTMJ. 

She has worn various hats throughout her career, working in marketing, radio/broadcasting, sales, IT and technical support. Debbie’s first stint with our team came in 1998 and lasted for a decade. She departed for roles in different industries until 2016, when she rejoined 620 WTMJ as our Traffic Anchor and Reporter.

You can hear Debbie’s signature traffic reports live on Wisconsin’s Morning News from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and again on Wisconsin’s Afternoon News from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays. She also produces a Feature series called ‘Driver’s Ed with Debbie,’ and frequently tells stories outside of traffic as well.

She loves Disney, dogs, traveling and telling stories with her own unique flair, keeping the public informed and entertained along the way. Her family is from Cuba, and she is fluent in both English and Spanish.
