Kaity Tong

Kaity Tong launched her broadcasting career at KCBS News Radio in San Francisco.  That led to a TV news reporting job at Bay Area Station KPIX.  Then it was off to Sacramento’s top rated NBC Affiliate, KCRA, as weekday anchor.

In 1981, Kaity headed east to New York’s WABC as weekend anchor/reporter.  She eventually co-anchored the 5 and 11 pm newscasts with such greats as Roger Grimsby, Bill Beutel, and Tom Snyder.

Kaity joined WPIX a decade later and remains there today.  Thirty-five years since, she’s received several regional Emmy Awards and the prestigious Governors’ Award, the highest honor a chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences can bestow.

Committed to her community, Kaity’s been recognized by various Chinese American organizations, children’s agencies, and women’s groups.

Kaity is a naturalized citizen and was thrilled when presented the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.  It celebrates our nation’s diverse heritage, commends excellence in community service, and belief in the American spirit.
