Starting your day with the most accurate, up-to-the-minute information can make all the difference. It's WISH-TV's commitment to you, and Troy Kehoe is thrilled to help make it happen.

Troy earned degrees in broadcast journalism and political science from Bradley University. He also attended American Intercontinental University in London, England, where he studied documentary film and held a reporting and editing internship at NBC News’ London Bureau. Prior to starting with WISH-TV in September of 2010, Troy worked as a reporter at WSBT-TV in South Bend and as a weekend anchor, reporter and producer at WREX-TV in Rockford, IL. Troy began his career in 1999 as a producer, reporter and photographer at WEEK-TV in Peoria, IL.

Today, you can see Troy's reports on 24 Hour News 8 Daybreak. As a general assignment reporter, Troy covers news as it breaks. That role has brought him opportunities to interview everyone from President Barack Obama to a blind little league player just fighting for a chance to play the game. Troy also served as WSBT-TV's Indiana Statehouse reporter, covering Hoosier politics from nearly every angle. He traveled to Ft. Stewart in Georgia in 2008 to report on the sendoff of Indiana's largest ever contingent of National Guardsmen.
Troy is honored to have received many prestigious awards during his career. He was nominated for two Regional Emmy Awards in 2010 for his work investigating the homicide-suicide of a prominent local doctor and his wife in South Bend. The Associated Press also honored Troy in 2010 with a 2nd Place Award as Indiana's Best Reporter. He was also awarded a 1st Place Award for Best Investigative Story while at WSBT for exposing the dangers of unlocked utility boxes in the wake of a Mishawaka student's electrocution.
Troy is the recipient of five other awards from the Associated Press for both investigative and enterprise reporting.

Troy was born and raised in Wheaton, IL, just outside Chicago, and remains a big Chicago Cubs fan. Troy is a certified volunteer firefighter and avid musician. He’s played the piano for nearly 25 years, and participated in dozens of international music festivals and concerts in both North America and Europe as a vocalist.

In his free time, Troy enjoys playing golf and reading.

Troy lives in Indianapolis.
