Steve Gregory: Radio Journalist

Steve Gregory (also known as Steven Gregory) is a reporter at KFI-AM in Los Angeles, California. Gregory has been at KFI since 2005. Before that, he was a reporter/anchor at Clear Channel Newstalker, KFYI-AM in Phoenix, Arizona (2001-2005). Gregory has also worked in television and radio in Colorado.

Gregory is best known for his coverage of immigration and border issues. In 2003, his 5-part series on immigrant deaths in the Arizona desert garnered KFYI its first-ever national Edward R. Murrow Award. Gregory has won many broadcast awards for his immigration and border stories. He is the first reporter to win an Arizona Associated Press Broadcasters Award for best talk show and best reporting in the same year.

Gregory has a reputation of immersing himself into the story. He was the only radio reporter allowed to be embedded with the controversial Minuteman Project along the Arizona/Mexico border for the entire month of April, 2005. His reports from the frontlines were heard on Clear Channel Radio's network of newstalk stations and many other radio outlets, including syndicated radio programs like Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and the Sean Hannity Show.

Recently, Gregory did a ride along with the Tijuana Police Department's SWAT Team. This was the first time a foreign radio reporter was allowed access to the department and its elusive commissioner.
