Catherine Heenan

Catherine Heenan (full name Mary Catherine Elizabeth Heenan) is a television news anchor and reporter at KRON-TV in San Francisco. Currently she co-anchors the station's hour-long newscast from four to five PM. Born in Indiana, she spent many summers growing up in Northern Ireland and England. She graduated from Illinois State University where she majored in communication and journalism. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she covered legal and political beats, and received numerous awards for her investigative and general assignment reporting. When she left Milwaukee for San Francisco in 1989 to anchor the KRON weekend news, a city proclamation naming a day in her honor was issued.

Her work has ranged from political reporting to feature pieces on old cow farmers. Particularly noteworthy is her exclusive series “Cloistered Nuns.” She and her photographer became the first and only outsiders ever allowed to enter the monastery of the Poor Clares in Los Altos Hills. In addition to many regional Emmys, she has won a National Emmy and a Peabody Award.

Heenan has also covered the peace plan process in Northern Ireland, the Women’s World Cup Championship and the Northridge Earthquake.

Heenan is often cited in local newspaper "best of" lists as one of the top anchors in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is also an amateur bagpipe player.
