Many people remember Pamela Davis as the anchor for the number one weekend newscast on KFMB, channel 8. While at channel 8, she covered many national stories and was featured as a correspondent on CNN, HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel and the CBS news magazine 48 Hours. In addition to covering the top stories, her weekly franchise "Adopt 8" featuring children in the foster care system drew a huge amount of community support. As a result, nearly 300 children were placed into permanent homes. She went from Channel 8 to Denver, Colorado to anchor Fox 31's Good Day Colorado. In the first year of the newscast, she was recognized by her peers with a nomination for best local anchor. Pamela is the proud mom of two college-aged children. Her daughter Lindsay attends Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and her son Jordan attends the University of Miami.
