JACOB KAUCHER
Reporter

I joined the KMOT-TV News Team as a reporter in September 2009.

I attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. and earned a Bachelor of Science in Journalism from the Medill School of Journalism. I also graduated with a second major in History.

While in school I served as sports director, anchor, and reporter for NNN SportsNight, a show devoted to providing highlights, news, and analysis of Northwestern sports. Our staff even won the NATAS College EMMY for best newscast in the nation my junior year. I was lucky enough to travel around the Midwest covering the ‘Cats on the gridiron and the hardwood as well as leading SportsNight’s coverage of the five-time defending national champion Northwestern women’s lacrosse team. I also freelanced for ESPNU, the Big Ten Network, and Sprint NFL Mobile.

Before coming to Minot, I began my career as a news reporter with WGEM-TV in Quincy, Ill. It was there that I developed my passion for telling the stories of everyday people. I hope to do just that here in the Magic City.

I am originally from Reading, Pa. and am excited to become a part of the Minot community. I enjoy watching sports, Pan-Asian food, reading and the color purple.
