Carolyn Holly Bio

							Carolyn Holly

After more than 25 years of working in the field of broadcast news,
Carolyn Holly is one of Idaho's most experienced and best-known
television personalities. Indeed, she has been instrumental in
helping KTVB become Idaho's news leader. She anchors Idaho’s
most-watched newscast, the Emmy award winning News at 10.
And, each day her loyal viewers get caught up on their daytime news with
Carolyn on the News at Noon. Carolyn's work is not limited to weekdays. You
can catch her on weekends on Seven Days, a weekly news wrap up show that
she both produces and anchors. In her distinguished career, Carolyn has won
numerous awards throughout the Northwest for her reports on health and social
issues.

Carolyn's broadcast career spans the globe. Over the years she has reported
from Shanghai, China for the Special Olympics World Games, in Japan she
brought us reports on our sister-country relationship for the Boise River Festival
and from Mexico she covered the Governors trade Mission.

  As you might imagine, Carolyn has had a wide variety of news experiences, but
certainly none as startling as the day she was indirectly hit by lightning while
broadcasting live from the Boise River festival. "It was a real shocker for our
viewers," she laughs. Amazingly, she was not seriously injured from the jolt- but
these days she is a little more reluctant to head out in the live truck during
electrical storms.

While work and family occupy a great deal of her time, Carolyn manages to find
plenty of time to give to her community. Her volunteer work includes: Past
President of the Boise Public School Foundation, Past Chairman of The
Governor’s Task Force on Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention, membership on
the St. Luke's Hospital Children's Board, and The Idaho Women's Fitness
Celebration. Carolyn and her family are also involved in youth athletics. "Sports
are our family's passion," she says. "Dad's the coach, the boys are our stars and
Mom's the Number One fan!"
