Cyreia joined WISN 12 in July 2022 as the station's weekend evening anchor, anchoring the 5, 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts on Saturday, and the 5:30 and 10 p.m. newscasts on Sunday. She also reports for various newscasts during the week.

Prior to coming to WISN 12, Sandlin served as co-anchor of the morning newscast at WTOC-TV in Savannah, Georgia. She also co-hosted the station’s lifestyle show, “Morning Break.” While in Georgia she was nominated for an Emmy for “Best Morning Newscast” in the Southeast and won the “Best Newscast 2018” award from the Georgia Associated Press. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, she hosted a weekly Facebook live show connecting viewers with local medical experts. She also hosted primetime specials about the disparities facing people of color during the pandemic. Just days before the 2020 Georgia Election runoff, Cyreia had a one-on-one interview with then Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

Sandlin received her Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Missouri School of Journalism with a focus on Broadcast Journalism. While attending college, Sandlin spent five months studying journalism and art history abroad while living in Brussels, Belgium. This helped build the foundation for her experience in international reporting when she worked for Thomson Reuters Television News. She also worked as an anchor/reporter for KOMU-TV, the NBC affiliate Columbia, Missouri. After graduation, she was named an International Radio Television Society Foundation Fellow and spent a summer working at NBC News in New York City.

Sandlin’s biggest passion is being part of her community. She truly believes in making the arts accessible to all and has served on the board of the Savannah Music Festival and Telfair Museums. She has raised thousands of dollars as a Big Wig fundraiser for Susan G. Komen, providing mammograms and early detection for women in need.

Cyreia grew up in Illinois and is thrilled to be back in the Midwest. She enjoys exploring museums, live music, cooking, trying new restaurants, reading and spending time on the lakefront. If you have a story tip or would like to say hello, please e-mail her at Cyreia.sandlin@hearst.com.
