Her radio programme "Talks with Hobbes" was aired daily at 7:30 PM in the New Hampshire area. In 2017 Hobbes was hired by WNN bringing her show to national television.
== Early Life ==
Hobbes was born on January 5, 1982 in Concord, New Hampshire as Katharine Altenburger. She attended the University of New Hampshire, graduating with a degree in Economics.
== Career ==
=== Radio ===
Hobbes began her radio career in 1998 at the age of 16 as an intern at a local radio station, being forced to work part-time by her parents' poor financial situation. An unexpected chain of events led Hobbes to host one of that night's radio shows with Hobbes filling in for an absent host. Her performance, described as "something new" and "refreshing" brought attention to her. Despite her good performance the radio station she was interning at did not hire her as a host afterwards. 
Two years later a different radio station approached her with a job offer which she accepted officially becoming a full-time radio host. Her newly found source of income helped her pay tuition at the University of Hampshire.
A couple of years after graduating from college she officially started hosting a radio show under her own name called "Talks with Hobbes" bringing further attention to her as a media personality. While hosting her radio show she became known for her sometimes controversial right-wing opinions and provocative nature. During the 2016 Presidential campaign she interviewed a couple of politicians with nation-wide name recognition including then-Vice Presidential Candidate (later Vice President) Buck Havich and then-Senate Majority Leader Ryan Carter.
=== Television career ===
In March 2017 Hobbes was approached by the newly created WNN in hopes of recruiting her as one of their three major personalities. Hobbes agreed to the offer and is currently awaiting her on-air debut.
== Private Life ==
Katharine married her high-school sweetheart, Andrew Hobbes in 1999.
== Controversies ==
During her interview with Ryan Carter, the then-Senate Majority Leader, Senator made a number of poorly-worded statements bringing a wave of criticism on himself.
During a social media exchange with Representative Nicole Smith of Illinois Hobbes made a controversial joke comparing Smith's short-lived gun control initiative to a dead african child, bringing a wave of condemnations from a number of politicians, most notably Senate Majority Whip Maria Villanueva de Pena.
