Remembering Katherine Creag
We at the New York Women’s Chamber of Commerce are saddened by the recent passing of Katherine Creag a beloved member of the News 4 family morning news “Today in New York” for years.
Katherine who emceed our 2014 New York Women of Excellence Award Breakfast was a bundle of energy, joyful, witty and funny, with a friendly personality that warmed you up and made you feel comfortable. Our 2014 NY Women of Excellence remains one of my favorites because of Katherine! I remembered her words that day, “Quenia I got this, sit down, relax and enjoy your event.” And I did! It was magical. We tried to honor Katherine at our last NY Women of Excellence but her schedule did not permit it. We will honor her posthumously at our next NY Women of Excellence.
A 1996 NYU graduate who spent five years at Fox before joining NBC, Creag won or shared in winning multiple Emmys, AP and Murrow awards over the course of a career that also took her to Dallas, Charlotte and Syracuse. Creag joined WNBC in 2011 and spent the better part of the last decade covering anything and everything across our region.
Instantly recognizable for her distinctive voice and hearty laugh, Creag was the first face many New Yorkers woke up to every day.
