Catherine Bosley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Catherine Bosley (born March 3, 1967) is an American television anchorwoman.

Bosley was born in Lake County, Ohio, and graduated from Oak Harbor High School, near Painesville, in 1985. She began working at age 17 at the local Hills Department Store as a cashier, staying there through her first year of college at Kent State University's Ashtabula Campus. She then went on to finish her degree in Telecommunications at the Main KSU campus while working at a sports store and at WKSU-FM public radio as a newsroom assistant and a receptionist. She also worked at the student television station TV2.

After her 1989 cum laude graduation from Kent State, Bosley took a job reading the news on Sundays at a small radio station in Geneva, WDON. She got her first TV job in Erie, Pennsylvania at WICU-TV, where she had interned the summer before. Her next stop was WETM-TV in Elmira, New York where she anchored, produced and reported. Then WROC-TV in Rochester, New York, where she worked for more than a year as a reporter and producer. Finally, she landed the job she had always wanted; full-time night-side crime reporter and back-up anchor at the (then) powerhouse station WKBN-TV in Youngstown, Ohio. In 2001, she was named morning show co-anchor at WKBN and noon show anchor was added to her responsibilities in 2003.

[edit] Wet T-shirt scandal

After recovering from a serious lung illness in the spring of 2003, Bosley holidayed in Key West, Florida, with her husband to celebrate. There, she joined in a wet T-shirt contest around midnight. The event was filmed and the film of Bosley stripping and posing nude for the crowd was leaked onto the Internet after 10 months. As a result of the negative publicity, she resigned from WKBN.

In September 2004, Bosley became co-host of a morning drive time show on WYFM in Youngstown.

Bosley is now a reporter for WOIO-TV in Cleveland, Ohio.
