TV newswoman Pat Harvey

Another day, another news personality. 😊

Pat Harvey is a living legend in Los Angeles newscasting.  She's a co-anchor of CBS station KCBS-TV's 5:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and 11:00 PM news programs.  She joined the station after having been an anchorwoman at KCAL-TV, where she'd anchored a nightly three-hour newscast - the first such newscast in the nation.  . In recognition of her 20th anniversary with KCAL and contributions to the people of Southern California, the Los Angeles City Council and L.A. County Board of Supervisors declared Oct. 30, 2009, ‘Pat Harvey Day’ by proclamation.

A recipient of the Los Angeles area's Governor¹s Award from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in 2015, Ms. Harvey has been involved in numerous charities, and her journalism career  has included reporting on many stories, such as the civil war in El Salvador, the AIDS epidemic in Eastern Africa and Russia, the first multiracial elections in South Africa in 1994, and the installation of Pope Benedict XVI in 2005.

Among Ms. Harvey's other TV news achievements are working as a guest co-anchor in Brisbane, Queensland in Australia and helping to launch CNN's Headline News channel, where she was one of the original anchors. 

And she's met a lot of  interesting people. 😃


Yes, that's Motown legend Smokey Robinson with our heroine.  😎

Pat Harvey has come a long way from Saginaw, Michigan, where she was a general assignment reporter and later a producer and anchor of the station¹s 6:00 PM and 11:00 PM newscast at WNEM-TV.
