Kathy Smith

On a high school field trip, Carl Click came to the KGW TV studio and watched Kathy Smith anchor a newscast. Four years later they were working in the same newsroom together. Kathy was the main anchor. Carl was a sports reporter. Listen to them relive the good old days. With very little experience Kathy began in TV in Boston and worked her way up and cross country to Portland. Hear how she used an audition from one station to get hired at another, handled a male-dominated era of the business, survived an interview with a "handsy" sports icon, and laugh at the pranks, on and off air, she traded with a network-bound co-anchor.
