Brendan Keefe WXIA a TV newscheck profile

Brendan Keefe, chief investigative reporter at WXIA, Tegna’s NBC affiliate in Atlanta, has pretty much been a one-man-band since he was hired as a news photographer at WREX in Rockford, Ill., in 1991.

“I started as a full-time photographer, and you know how small markets are. This one day, they are like, we want you to package this even though you’re the photographer. So next thing you know, I’m a reporter, but I’m still a one man band.”


Over the next 16 years, Keefe’s career took him from WREX in Rockford to stints as reporter and anchor at WWMT Kalamazoo, Mich.; WJXT Jacksonville, Fla.; WFSB Hartford, Conn.; KPRC Houston; WCBS New York; and WCPO Cincinnati, Ohio.

It was while working at WCPO in 2007, as an anchor, when Keefe really began working alone in earnest, and in secret.
