Ryan Kath

Ryan Kath is a national award-winning investigative journalist with a reputation for uncovering problems, exposing taxpayer waste, protecting consumers, holding public officials accountable, and prompting positive changes in communities.

His investigations have earned more than 30 regional Emmy Awards, a dozen regional Edward R. Murrow Awards, and a prestigious national honor from the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards for an investigative documentary about the missteps surrounding a natural gas explosion at a restaurant.

Since joining NBC10 Boston in 2018, Kath and the investigative team have launched two award-winning series: “To Catch a Contractor” and “Small Town Secrets.”

Before that, Kath spent three years in the Boston market at WBZ-TV, eight years at KSHB-TV in Kansas City, and two years at KTTC-TV in Rochester, Minnesota.

Kath earned a master’s degree in broadcast journalism at Boston University’s College of Communication in 2004. He’s maintained his connection to the campus as an adjunct professor since 2018.

The students in his in-depth reporting class have been published on NBC10, including the launch of the station’s “Commonwealth Confidential: State of Policing” series about law enforcement accountability.

It was at BU where Kath met his wife, Carla. The couple are now proud parents of two daughters and also have a mischievous adopted pooch named Pancake.

On the weekends, you’ll find Kath on the sidelines coaching his daughters or chasing his misguided soccer aspirations in the New England over-the-hill league.
