Keith Grant reports for Cleveland 19 News and joined the team in February 2026.
Raised in the Black Hills of South Dakota, he worked on his family’s five-generation ranch on the northern edge of the Hills, about an hour from Mt. Rushmore.
Before moving to Cleveland, he reported and anchored in Wichita, Kansas, and Rapid City, South Dakota.
While in Wichita, he covered nurses’ challenges with the Kansas State Board of Nursing and its licensing policies, an issue that later drew legislative attention.
When he’s not reporting, Keith spends as much time outdoors as he can, enjoying hiking, biking and cross-country skiing.
