Veteran WDIV investigative reporter Kevin Dietz was released from jail Saturday after serving more than three weeks for DUI, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Dietz was jailed on April 18 under Michigan’s “super drunk” law, which increases the consequences for people convicted of driving with a blood alcohol content of .17% or higher. Dietz, who has worked at the Detroit NBC affiliate since 1993, was arrested February 12.

“I made a mistake for which I apologize to my family, WDIV and to the viewers,” Dietz said in a statement posted to the WDIV website. “I accept full responsibility and am taking the necessary steps to deal with this matter.”

“Kevin has been forthright and accepted full responsibility and expressed remorse.  He is taking appropriate steps to deal this situation and we believe that Kevin will continue to be an important contributor to WDIV now and in the future,” WDIV vice president and general manager Marla Drutz said.

Jamie Kaye Walters is joining WDIV, the NBC affiliate in Detroit, as creative services and programming director.

In her new role, Walters will oversee branding, community engagement and programming initiatives for WDIV. She worked at the station from 1998-2007 as a producer in the entertainment and promotion departments. Since then, she has been the co-founder and executive producer of a creative production agency in Detroit.

“Jamie brings an entrepreneurial spirit and abiding passion for television back to where she got her start here at WDIV,” VP-GM Marla Drutz said in a statement. “She has the very enviable blend of experience, creativity, professionalism and a winning personality … We are delighted that she’s back.”

Kim Voet has been named news director at Detroit’s WDIV.

Voet has worked her way up the ranks of WDIV’s newsroom for the past 14 years. After working as a news producer, executive producer, and senior executive producer, Voet was appointed assistant news director of the NBC-affiliate at the end of 2009.

“Throughout her many years at Local 4, Kim has had a hand in every key initiative in our newsroom,” said Marla Drutz, WDIV’s vice president and general manager, in announcing the move.  “She has consistently demonstrated a passion for being the best in breaking news coverage, and has a great understanding of what is truly important to our community.”

The move comes after Deborah Collura, who spent several years as news director of Post Newsweek-owned WDIV, was promoted to vice president-managing director of news for Post Newsweek stations.
