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, including being nominated as an outstanding investigative reporter for the past 12 years.
He has received 12 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.
It was at BU where Kath met his wife. 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 watching his daughters in theater performances or chasing his misguided soccer aspirations in the New England over-the-hill league.
