Real Impact Through Investigative Journalism
In its second season, InvestigateTV+ presented powerful stories that made headlines. An exclusive investigation led by Chief Investigator Brendan Keefe revealed the DEA’s controversial practice of seizing cash assets at airports. This report played a vital role in prompting the government to abolish the practice nationwide. Additionally, reporter Caresse Jackman raised important questions about the feasibility of a proposed 10-year timeline to eliminate every lead pipe in America.
Addressing Critical Issues
Joce Sterman's report brought to light the negligence of military doctors and the lack of transparency for service members and their families. Furthermore, reporters Kristin Crowley and Heather Graf explored various facets of the affordable housing crisis, working through potential solutions to ensure everyone has safe shelter.
Expanding Accessibility and Reach
In recognition of the growing audience, InvestigateTV+ has expanded its presence, now broadcasting in all 113 Gray television markets. During this upcoming season, the show will extend its reach into additional non-Gray territories, achieving clearance in 46% of daily U.S. viewing households, while InvestigateTV+ Weekend is slated for clearance in 67% of the nation.
