PERSON: Suzanne McCarroll

CBS Denver

Reporter

Suzanne is a general assignment reporter with a penchant for human interest stories, or any topics that impact people’s lives. She grew up in California but now calls Colorado her permanent home. She has three children who are quick to say they almost never watch their mother on TV.

Born in Dayton, Ohio, Suzanne’s family moved to California and she grew up in the Bay Area with a blossoming interest in writing. She earned a BA from Stanford University and became an executive speechwriter for IBM in San Jose.
Suzanne made the transition into television when she accepted a job as a sports reporter in Pocatello, Idaho. She then went on to become a news reporter for KCRG-TV in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

In June of 1982, Suzanne joined the staff at CBS4 in Denver as a reporter, after hearing about KCNC’s “great reputation.” She says she was happy to be moving to such a wonderful city in a competitive market.

For Suzanne, the best thing about reporting is the variety that it offers and the opportunity it affords for her to continue writing. The worst is interviewing victims of tragedies or crime.

Suzanne enjoys time with her three children, taking advantage of all the activities that Colorado offers.
