Carol A. Schrader (born 1951) is an Omaha, Nebraska news anchor and celebrity who worked at KETV from 1977-1996.

Education and early career

Schrader was initially a radio reporter in the 1970s after attending the University of Nebraska-Omaha where she was elected homecoming queen. She was editor of the student newspaper and a student of Omaha media legend, Joe McCartney, who was also public relations director of the Union Pacific Railroad. She eventually returned to UNO in the late 1980s to complete her bachelor's degree in journalism.

KETV

Schrader's career at KETV was noted for a weekly community affairs interview show called "Viewpoint" as well as a weekly feature known as "Wednesday's Child" which tried to assist children who were up for adoption. Ms. Schrader and her former husband, retired Omaha Fire Chief Joe Napravnik, adopted one of the interviewed children themselves.

Schrader left KETV in a dispute with management just after the 5pm newscast on October 1, 1996.

After KETV

After leaving KETV, Schrader worked briefly in talk radio for KFAB before revamping her television career through a weekly interview show called "Consider This" at PBS station KYNE. In 2006, Schrader retired from her television career to take a job as Chief Deputy with the Democratic-controlled Douglas County Assessor's office. She then moved on to become a real estate agent in 2007. Schrader has been a regular performer in the Omaha Press Club shows as well as other stage endeavors. She has also hosted numerous community events over the years.
