Katherine Creag had been with her news network for over ten years, prior to which she worked for some time with Fox News. Originally from Manila, she was a New York University graduate credited for her immense contribution to WNBC's award-winning portfolio. 

The journalist's Twitter bio reads, "Sleep, what's that?! I go to work when you're coming home from the club." She was an audience favourite for her early morning newscast on Today in New York as a field reporter, appearing at 4:30 am on weekdays. For her reporting, Craig had been recognised through many awards including those by the Associated Press and Emmy's. 

Amy Morris, Vice President of WNBC news, said about Creag upon her passing, "For ten years Kat was one of our cornerstones, always willing to help in any situation, whether it was a colleague in need or a shift that needed to be covered... even on the toughest days she was a bright light, quick with a kind word and a smile." 

Creag is survived by three children and her husband.
