KC Cowan arrived at KGW a year or so before I did—early 80s. She has one of the stories that I love-- started as a news writer for the newscasts while reporting on the weekends, then worked hard and became so valuable she was a full-time on-air reporter in no time. She did it all—anchor, report, weather, TV & radio. I remember her at her best as she covered entertainment as a specialist for a while at KGW, and then for a decade with Oregon Artbeat at OPB. KC’s career had ups and downs, but she was always “up” in the newsroom—a bundle of creativity and energy. Now that energy is focused on her writing career-- a college hobby with friends has come back to be her present day passion.
