Kathy McAnally was an award-winning radio journalist most known as a pioneer in coverage by
women of professional sports in the latter part of the 20th century. Born and raised in
Pennsylvania, She later attended Penn State University before moving to California in the
1970s. Early in her career, McAnally was a volunteer and co-director of the Public Affairs
Department at KPFA Berkeley. She later gained prominence as one of the first female
reporters to be allowed into the locker rooms of Bay Area sports teams such as the San
Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Athletics. In addition to sports reporting, McAnally made
significant contributions in reporting and contributing segments on health and science
issues. She produced segments for the "DNA Files" an award-winning National Public Radio
series, and was co-anchor of California Public Radio, a state-funded broadcast, prior to
it's funding being pulled by then California Governor George Deukmejian. McAnally died in
San Francisco on March 24, 2006 at the age of 55.
