Kathy Walsh
Kathy Walsh and CBS4 go hand in hand, considering Kathy has been part of the team since 1984. She started at CBS4 as the reporter for the 10 p.m. news. Now, she anchors the weekend broadcasts at both 5 and 10 p.m. and covers a variety of issues as a general assignment reporter.
The high quality of work done at CBS4 first brought Kathy to Denver. That high quality has kept her here. Kathy has covered everything from a killer avalanche in Breckenridge to the installation of a Cardinal in Rome.
Kathy grew up in Plainfield, New Jersey. She graduated with honors from the University of Delaware with a B.A. in Communications. She quickly launched her career in broadcasting as an anchor/reporter/producer/photographer and editor at WVII-TV in Bangor, Maine. She has worked as a reporter at both WSMV-TV in Nashville and WXYZ-TV in Detroit.
Kathy's work has been singled out with numerous awards. She won both an Emmy and a regional award from the Radio and Television News Directors Association for her series "Living in Limbo" ... the story of one man's struggle to survive a bone marrow transplant. She has also won awards from the Associated Press and the Colorado Broadcasters Association.
Kathy is hard working, confident and competent. But she admits, stories of human loss tug at her heart strings and can be the most difficult part of her job.
Kathy is married with two daughters. She and her husband love Denver for its friendly, intelligent community and are active outside of work. Kathy is a member of the Women's Forum of Colorado, an emcee at many charitable functions and a volunteer at St. Mary's Academy.
Away from the camera, Kathy unwinds by shopping, reading and most of all, enjoying her family and friends. Her number one goal is to raise happy, healthy, loving children and to have fun each step of the way.
