Heath Kalb

Heath Kalb joined the CBS News Detroit team in September of 2024 after spending two years at the NBC affiliate in Springfield, Massachusetts. 

From covering the Basketball Hall of Fame, Boston sports, and New England's charm to now being in Motown, Heath is loving the opportunity to explore the Mitten State and report on southeast Michigan's diverse communities. While in Detroit, he has covered several presidential campaign rallies and the excitement of playoff games for the Lions, Tigers, and Pistons. 

Before beginning his career in Springfield, Heath graduated from Stony Brook University, where he announced the school's sports teams. He grew up in Northern New Jersey and is a proud native of the Garden State. He is a diehard fan of the Brooklyn Nets, New York Yankees, New England Patriots, and Eastern Washington men's basketball teams. 

Outside of work, Heath loves sports, comedy, dogs (especially basset hounds), matzo ball soup, playing cards, listening to disco and yacht rock music, and getting out of his comfort zone. 

Heath is excited to call Michigan home now, and if you see Heath out, say 'Hi!'
