Michael Grant (television)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Murray Grant (born July 16, 1951 in Hutchinson, Kansas) is an attorney and former host of the long-running Arizona Public Television program Horizon. Before his work on Horizon, Michael worked in Arizona radio both as a disc jockey and an investigative reporter, most notably for KOY-AM.
Michael got his start on Arizona television by covering Sandra Day O'Connor's Senate confirmation hearings for KAET Channel 8 and PBS. After the hearings, KAET producers came to Michael with a concept for a daily discussion show. The special Friday edition was to be modeled after Washington Week in Review. Known as the roundtable discussion, local journalists would review the week's top news stories in an informal, conversational format. Monday through Thursday's shows would focus on interviews with subjects close to a particular newsworthy event or issue.
Michael was with Horizon for over 25 years, and hosted the 25th anniversary edition of the show, which aired on October 19, 2006. Grant hosted his last Horizon show on January 26, 2007.
