Catherine Franklin joins the WMBF News Team from WPXI-TV in Pittsburg, PA, where she associate produced. At WMBF, Catherine will be working as a producer.
After graduating from Penn State Erie with a degree in English literature, Catherine was planning on building a career as an English teacher. But after tutoring middle-school students she decided that the job was not right for her. Catherine reconsidered her career options and landed an internship at 35WSEE-TV in Eerie and fell in love with production and broadcasting. The fast-paced environment that is frequently changing is what drew Catherine into broadcasting.
Despite being land-locked in Pittsburg at WPXI for the past several years, Catherine is excited about living by the water for the first time in Myrtle Beach.
In her spare time, she enjoys playing sports and was formerly a member of the Penn State Erie diving and soccer teams. For the last two years, she has spent most of her free time coaching junior high soccer in Pittsburgh and enjoys volunteering in her time away from the station and soccer field.
- In 10 years, I see myself still working in television, maybe on a show such as "Oprah." I also think I'll be married and have two kids.
- My most memorable assignment was producing the Noon Show on September 11, 2007. It was the first time I had produced the noon and it was crazy!
- When I was a child, I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up.
- Back in high school, people would have described me as athletic, and today, people would say I am well-organized.
- My most embarrassing moment was the first day back to school after I broke my ankle my senior year playing soccer. I slipped and fell while on my crutches as everyone was walking into school.
- My favorite foods are cookies and ice cream.
- The three things I can't live without are text messaging, my sister and chocolate.
