Diane Pathieu joined TODAY'S TMJ4 in August of 2005. She was born and raised in the city to our south (dare we say it?), and is very happy to be so close to home. If you're up early, you can catch Diane on Live At Daybreak, and Live At Noon. Diane came to Milwaukee from KCRG, the ABC affiliate in Cedar Rapids, Iowa .

Before Cedar Rapids, Diane worked at KFXB, the Fox-affiliate in Dubuque as the main anchor and producer for both the 5:00 and 10:00 pm shows. She has been a part of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization, and participated in many reading programs helping younger children understand the importance of reading.

Diane has a degree in Broadcast Journalism from Columbia College in Chicago and worked as an assignment editor and production assistant at Shadow/Metro Broadcast Services and WMAQ-TV in Chicago while going to school (it was a very busy time!).

While she doesn't have a lot of time for hobbies (you see, she has to be up at 2 a.m.!), she LOVES to cook (oh yeah, and eat...A LOT.)

Have a fav recipe? Send it over! She's collected many from viewers over the years and would love to try yours!
