ornings come early for
Pam Cook. She might
hit the snooze button
once, even twice, but
her day always starts
around 2 a.m., giving her plenty of time
to slip into her role as co-anchor of
Morning News at KTVU Channel 2. Hours
before most people open their eyes, she
starts with a green smoothie and energy
bar, makes tea and heads to work, where
she has been a friendly face delivering
the news starting at 4 a.m. for 22 years.
She considers it the ideal job, because it
allows her to balance motherhood and
career.
Cook grew up in San Diego and at-
tended the University of California at Los
Angeles, where she majored in econom-
ics. After college, she landed a job as an
accountant in San Francisco's Financial
District, and from there, she went to the
Anchorwoman's
life away from
the cameras
