Emmy-winning KWQC anchor signs off on-air, insisting 'facts matter'

Emmy-winning KWQC-TV6 anchor Dustin Nolan quit on-air during a Davenport morning newscast, saying he’s stepping away from the news industry because 'facts matter' and that viewers deserve more than trends or sanitized coverage. His tearful farewell also noted that he will no longer work with wife co-anchor Jenna Jackson; Nolan, who joined KWQC in 2022, and Jackson won an Emmy in October 2025 for 'Remembering May 28th,' a Davenport hotel collapse memorial.

Quad Cities River Reaches 21.4 Foot Crest.

The Mississippi River flood of 2023 has crested in the Quad Cities, reaching 21.46 feet and expected to stay at that level for several more days. Davenport built HESCO walls along River Drive to hold back the floodwater and protect the city, with three times the amount of sand added along the riverfront and the wall twice as high and wide as the one built during the 2019 record-setting flood. The entire Riverfront Recreation Trail and Walk are closed due to major river flooding.
