Pam is thrilled to be back in the news business after a two-year hiatus in 2002-2004. Pam has been in the Madison TV market since 1990. Back then, she thought it would be one step closer to moving back home to Kansas. But, Madison instead became her new home and she has no plans to change that.

Pam is married to sports broadcaster Craig Coshun. They have two sons, John and Jake. The entire family enjoys sports and that keeps them busy after school and weekends attending games and practices. The family also includes two dogs, a cat, four fish and countless frogs that the boys bring home to live in their backyard pond. When they're not on the run, the family enjoys gardening, biking and hiking Madison area trails, and working on their vintage 1970s home.

She is active in a number of civic organizations and enjoys serving on the board of directors for the Dane County Humane Society. Pam believes in giving back to the community and spends much of her spare time hosting and attending community events to help raise awareness and funding for various non profit organizations. You can also read about her family experiences living in Dane County in her monthly column in Dane County Kids Magazine.

Pam is an award-winning journalist. She has been recognized for reporting in Texas, Louisiana and most recently, in Wisconsin by The Associated Press and Wisconsin Broadcasters Association. Pam's reporting has also been recognized by the Wisconsin Council on Developmental Disabilities, and the state Technical College System.

Her career started in Topeka, Kansas where she first worked in radio and TV while attending Washburn University. Her career took her to Texas and Louisiana before she finally settled in Wisconsin.
