Return To KSTP and Aftermath
In 2004, after an 18-year absence from the station, Brucato made a surprise return to the KSTP-TV anchor desk. Her comeback had been preceded by a guest appearance as a fill-in sportscaster, at Sports Director Joe Schmit's request. Management then decided to rehire her for a news anchor position.
During her first year back at Channel 5, Brucato anchored the 10:00 p.m. news until a new main anchor team was in place. She remained on the KSTP 6:30 news anchor desk until September 2010. During her tenure, she received a Peabody Award and a national Emmy, and was inducted into the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame.
While Brucato's return to KSTP only caused an initial bump in the ratings, her greater significance was to add insight and depth to the news desk, which has many newer personalities in the market. She also expressed public support for the Hubbard family.
After leaving KSTP, Brucato rejoined her strategic communications company and serves as a senior consultant. She is also a featured reporter for MinnPost.com.

Famous quotes containing the words return to, return and/or aftermath:
“Adolescence is a time when children are supposed to move away from parents who are holding firm and protective behind them. When the parents disconnect, the children have no base to move away from or return to. They aren’t ready to face the world alone. With divorce, adolescents feel abandoned, and they are outraged at that abandonment. They are angry at both parents for letting them down. Often they feel that their parents broke the rules and so now they can too.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
“I borrowed today out of the Advocate’s Library, David Hume’s Treatise of Human Nature, but found it so abstruse, so contrary to sound sense and reason, and so drearying its effects on the mind, if it had any, that I resolved to return it without reading it.
”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“The aftermath of joy is not usually more joy.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
