About Dagmar Midcap

 

Dagmar joined CBS ATLANTA in June 2007 as the Better Mornings Atlanta weather and traffic anchor. She not only brought early risers their daily forecast and commute, but hosted the weekly segments “Critter Corner” and “Better Wheels.” Her passion for animals and love of cars was a sure fit for the segments themes.

The viewers agreed and in March of 2008 Dagmar was named lead weather anchor for CBS ATLANTA. Since then she’s spent her time flying into the eye of a hurricane, swimming with Whale Sharks, touring the top-secret F-22 Raptor’s Nest and chasing powerful tornadoes. It’s all just part of the job!

When she’s not tracking severe weather or collecting venomous jellyfish, she volunteers for domestic and wildlife animal rescue organizations as well as caring for her ever-growing personal zoo. She hopes to own a small farm in the very near future to be used as a shelter for all creatures great and small. In her spare time, (what little there is) Dagmar enjoys an afternoon on a dirt or street bike. She also co-hosted the successful Canadian national automotive program, “Driving Television”.

Dagmar hails from Vancouver, Canada. While pursuing dreams of becoming a National Hockey League play-by-play announcer, she began her career with broadcast journalism training at BCIT (British Columbia Institute of Technology). The following year she was offered a full time position in Cleveland, Ohio. Her popularity soared as the host of a weekly current affairs program and her career took off as she played host to several highly regarded national broadcasts. Dagmar then returned to Vancouver to re-join family and begin her new role as the traffic and weather reporter on VTV's “Breakfast,” soon making the move to Global’s BCTV “Morning Show.”

Dagmar has an impressive list of movie and television credits too. She has been cast in feature films including “Catwoman” with Halle Berry and “Baby Geniuses 2.” Her television credits include “Stargate SG: 1,” “Dead Zone,” “Twilight Zone” and recurring roles on the popular series “Smallville” as well as “Dark Angel” starring Jessica Alba. Dagmar’s most recent appearances have been in the television series “Medium” and “Numb3rs,” and features films like “Shooter” with Mark Walhberg and “Case 39” with Rene Zellweger.
