Catherine Bosley

Catherine Bosley was born on March 3, 1967 in Lake County, Ohio. She graduated from 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. 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, Catherine landed a job reading the news on Sundays at a small radio station in Geneva, Ohio, 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.

After recovering from a serious lung illness in the summer of 2003, Catherine and her husband went to Key West, Florida to celebrate. They were walking by a place that was having a wet T-shirt contest and decided that it would be "crazy and silly" for her to join in - so she did. Catherine ended up on stage completely nude, dancing with the other contestants. When the Bosleys returned home, they learned that a tape of the event had been given to the head of WKBN and was posted on the Internet. When faced with the choice, Catherine left WKBN.

Catherine is a co-hosts a morning drive time show on WYFM in Youngstown.
