On March 31, 2017, Delagatto signed off as Bill Delagatto for the last time saying and came out as transwoman:
 
{{quote|Before we leave tonight, Luka (Runecraft) and I have had a relationship for years, having this conversation in the past and we agreed that we would work together on this change and the timing of this change I'm making. I called Ava (Zinn), the woman in charge of Vote for the Girls after I joined the Zinn's Villain Panel and I said, "Ava, I spoke to my family  about this personal change I'm making as is [[Bria Savage]] from our sister station in Fort Wayne. But like Ava, Bria, and [[Kathi Jameson|Kathi (Jameson)]], I'm transitioning from guy to girl." Starting tomorrow, I will go by '''Lydia Delagatto''' on air. 
 
 
 
Most importantly, my heart is full of gratitude for those with whom I have had the privilege to work as a meteorologist in Indianapolis and in Milwaukee as well as being a villain on ''Vote for the Girls''. I want to reiterate my thanks for the support from CBS 11, the late [[Rhonda Rhodes]], all of the people at home watching and my former colleagues in Milwaukee.
