Jeremy Finley is an investigative reporter for the Channel 4 I-Team. An Emmy Award winner, he has also received top honors from the Society of Professional Journalists and the Associated Press. He specializes in investigations into corruption, criminal activity and waste of taxpayer money. He is a member of Investigative Reporters and Editors.

Under his direction, the I-Team has produced some of the most talked about investigations in middle Tennessee in recent memory, including exposing the disturbing deaths of animals at a local animal shelter, a secret smoking room in legislative plaza for lawmakers who voted to ban smoking in state buildings and a highly paid elected official relaxing at his house in his bathrobe while claiming to be at a meeting -- a story the Nashville Scene called "a devastatingly effective expose ... a piece that has already become part of Nashville's political folklore."

Jeremy's investigations have also prompted sweeping legislation, including laws that protect children and victims of domestic violence. In May 2009, Jeremy and the I-Team were awarded the very first Freedom of Information Act award from the Associated Press for a series of stories exposing problems with the state's domestic violence system that prompted the state to review 13,000 orders of protection across Tennessee. Other investigations have resulted in the complete shut down of an anti-domestic violence program that allowed offenders to pay a fee and leave without counseling and a benefits company to fire workers caught on hidden camera teaching methods to mislead the sick and uninsured. Jeremy was the first reporter to expose sudden acceleration problems in Toyota vehicles, two years before the company's largest-ever recall of vehicles.

Jeremy has also been recognized by the community organizations, state commissions and city departments for his reporting. The Nashville Fire Department gave him its media award in 2009 for his series exposing flaws in the city’s fire hydrants. In 2008, the Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth awarded him a citation of outstanding reporting for his year-long investigation into juvenile crime. He also received an award from the community group “Partners in the Struggle” for the same investigation.

He began his broadcasting career as a reporter at KFVS-12 in Cape Girardeau, Mo., and became managing editor at KARK-TV in Little Rock, Ark., after working as a reporter. In 2004, he covered the Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, for WSMV-TV.

Jeremy proudly serves the women in his life, especially his wife, Rebecca, and two daughters, Eve and Charlotte. He enjoys pampering his dog, Charlie (a greyhound rescue), and pestering his older brother, Jason, a photographer at WSMV-TV. He is a graduate of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and has a Master's degree in public affairs reporting from the University of Illinois at Springfield.
