She began working at age 17 at the local Hills Department Store as a cashier, staying there through her first year of college at Kent State University's Ashtabula Campus. She then went on to finish her degree in Telecommunications at the Main KSU campus while working at a sports store and at WKSU-FM public radio as a newsroom assistant and a receptionist. She also worked at the student television station TV2.
After her 1989 cum laude graduation from Kent State, Bosley took a job reading the news on Sundays at a small radio station in Geneva, WDON. She got her first TV job in Erie, Pennsylvania at WICU-TV, where she had interned the summer before. Her next stop was WETM-TV in Elmira, New York where she anchored, produced and reported. Then WROC-TV in Rochester, New York, where she worked for more than a year as a reporter and producer. Bosley then became a full-time night-side crime reporter and back-up anchor at WKBN-TV in Youngstown, Ohio. In 2001, she was named morning show co-anchor at WKBN and noon show anchor was added to her responsibilities in 2003.
In September 2004, Bosley became co-host of a morning drive time show on WYFM in Youngstown. Bosley is now a reporter for WOIO-TV in Cleveland, Ohio.
Bosley brought a lawsuit in 2003 against Hustler Magazine, claiming the company had infringed her copyright by publishing photos of her, to which she owned the rights, without her permission. Hustler Magazine claimed a fair use exception for publication of the photos, but was found to have violated Bosley's copyright. The verdict was upheld on appeal.

Famous quotes containing the words background and, background and/or career:
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
