In February 2002, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Le Mignot's contract would not be renewed by WBBM-TV, and she briefly left the station. However, she signed a new contract in June 2002 and returned to the station.

In early 2006, Le Mignot became the weekend morning news anchor at WBBM-TV. She current co-anchors with Mike Puccinelli, and she also performs general assignment reporting during the week.

In 2007, WBBM-TV management considered promoting Le Mignot to being weekend evening news anchor. However, station bosses promoted Mai Martinez to the role instead.
