Tami Mlcoch joined 17 News in April, 2000. After six years of waking up early to deliver the news, she moved to nights to anchor 17 News at 6pm and 11pm.
Prior to joining the 17 News Team, Tami worked as a Reporter/Anchor at Channel 23 in Bakersfield. She was also an Associate Producer at KCAL-9 TV in Los Angeles. Tami got her first on-air job in 1994 at the Orange County NewsChannel after graduating with a degree in broadcasting from California State University, Fullerton.
Tami has always been a “news junkie”. She knew at the age of ten that she wanted to pursue a career in broadcasting. She is very active in the community, doing work on behalf of a number of causes. She is especially passionate about encouraging people to get on the bone marrow registry. That passion grew from a very special little girl, Mikella McAuley, who passed away from leukemia while awaiting a bone marrow transplant.
When she’s not working, Tami enjoys spending time with her husband Brian and their two children.
