Claire Decatur

Claire Decatur joined the KCTV5 team in April 2026 and is grateful to be working in the city where her journalism dream first began.

A proud Olathe North High School Eagle, you may have seen Claire on the golf course or on the theatre stage. She went on to attend the University of Kansas, where she earned her B.A. in Journalism.

Claire began her career at WIBW in Topeka, Kansas, working her way from intern to weekend morning anchor. She loves meeting people in the community and sharing their stories—and she’s excited to keep doing that in her hometown of Kansas City. As a digital content creator, Claire is here to bring you the news where you are: on your favorite social media platforms.

When she’s not working, Claire is usually with family or friends playing card games, trying new restaurants (and hunting down great BBQ), reading her Bible at local coffee shops, or taking long walks with her puppy, Kylo. And to say she’s a Jayhawks fan is an understatement—she loves KU. Rock Chalk!
