Catherine Pegram joined the TV5 news team in June of 2005 as the co-anchor of the station's one-hour weekday newscast, WABI TV5 News at 5. This is her second television tour of duty in Bangor. Catherine started her broadcast career 11 years ago as a producer at WLBZ NewsCenter 2. She eventually moved into a reporter position there. Catherine left Bangor in 1998 for a morning anchor/reporter position in Pensacola, Florida. In 2000, she moved to Oklahoma City where she worked as a fill-in anchor/reporter for KWTV News 9.

Catherine is originally from the Kansas City, Missouri area - Independence to be exact. But Maine has quickly become her second home. This is where she met and married her husband, Jeff Solari - a native of Bar Harbor. Jeff also returned to Bangor media, in the fall, as the host of The ShootAround. The local sports show can be heard each afternoon on WZON radio. Jeff is also the voice of the University of Maine women's basketball team.

Catherine and Jeff are excited to call Veazie home, with their neurotic but lovable dog, Dexter.
