Nicole Teich
KMBZ News Director
After trying nearly every job in a television newsroom for the past 13 years, Nichole Teich joined KMBZ as News Director in May 2007 to get a taste of real journalism (at least that's what her boss says). Nichole gained a reputation for herself in Kansas City as an Investigative Reporter with NBC Action News. Her Investigative Reports have won awards and created change from metro hospitals to City Hall. Since helping launch the unit in 2003 , her investigations have won numerous awards from the Missouri Broadcasters Association, the Kansas Association of Broadcasters, two Emmy Awards (no grandma I didn't see Brad Pitt there) and the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award for an investigation exposing deadly problems with the City's fleet of firetrucks. All of that aside, her favorite story was about a pin-up calendar featuring 80-90 year men in bathing suits posing by the pool of a metro nursing home. They even signed autographs for the ladies! She attended the University of Missouri and played collegiate tennis. When the University cancelled the sport because the football team couldn't make any money, she made the best decision in her life and transferred to the University of Nebraska. She is proud to say she bleeds Husker Red because that's where she got her first taste of radio. Nichole grew up all over the country but is proud to call Western Shawnee home. She is married to her first career partner (a cameraman) and is the proud momma to the two greatest kids in the world.
KMBC Reporter
From the South Central riots in Los Angeles to Hurricane Andrew in Louisiana to national political conventions, when it comes to big stories, KMBC 9 News anchor-reporter Kris Ketz has always found himself in the right place at the right time.
Kris is also an Emmy-award winning anchor and investigative reporter, having captured a Midwest Emmy for best anchor in 2008. He also won in 1991 for an in-depth report on the influence of the Ku Klux Klan in the Kansas City area. He was nominated for a 2003 Emmy for best anchor.
Kris joined KMBC-TV on July 4, 1983. For 14 years he co-anchored the weekday editions of KMBC 9 News at 5 before being named co-anchor of KMBC 9 First News in October 2007
Kris is a graduate of St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. He began his broadcasting career at the age of 18 as a weekend news anchor for radio station WQUA in Moline, Ill. Kris progressed to afternoon and morning anchor, until he became the station's news director.
Kris broke into television four years later with WQAD-TV in Moline in 1981. WQAD-TV was the station where his father had anchored the news for 35 years. Kris rose from weekend co-anchor/producer to weeknight co-anchor at WQAD.
A highlight of Kris' career was the chance to co-anchor a Father's Day edition of KMBC 9 News at 10 with his dad in 1998.
He was named "Best Reporter" in a reader's poll in Kansas City Magazine for 2003 and 2001.
Kris was also the 2004 recipient of the prestigious Barbara Potts award from Hope House for raising community awareness about domestic violence in Kansas City.
Hope House is now the largest domestic violence shelter in Missouri with centers in Independence and Lee's Summit.
Kris was an active member in the Hispanic Media Association of Greater Kansas City. He has also been active in raising money on behalf of the Muscular Dystrophy Association through his involvement with the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon. Kris has been a co-host of local MDA telethons in Kansas City and the Quad Cities since 1980.
Kris's 25th anniversary at Channel 9 was marked by a special congratulatory resolution introduced and approved by the Kansas City, Mo., City Council in August 2008.
Kris and his wife, Lisa, have four sons and live in Kansas City, North.
