Career

Cato began her broadcasting career at the KCCFM radio station in Whangarei, before she moved to Auckland to begin her television career in 1990.[1] Cato's first role on television was as a presenter of the New Zealand version of the popular children's television series The Early Bird Show with a puppet character named Russell Rooster. After The Early Bird Show, Cato moved on to hosting the children's television show 3pm.[1]

In 1993 Cato presented the successful You and Me television show, which aired over 2000 episodes.[2] When this show finished in 1998, Cato created her own production company - Treehut.[3] Cato went on to produce her immensely popular Suzy's World, which aired 263 episodes from 1999-2002.[4]

Since 2005, Cato has produced a television show in association with the New Zealand Police - Bryan and Bobby.[5] Bryan and Bobby is an educational show which was created to teach children safety messages through song and entertainment.[6]
