A covariant modified gravity (MOG) is formulated by adding to general relativity two new degrees of freedom, a scalar field gravitational coupling strength $G= 1/\chi$ and a gravitational spin 1 vector field $\phi_\mu$. The $G$ is written as $G=G_N(1+\alpha)$ where $G_N$ is Newton’s constant, and the gravitational source charge for the vector field is $Q_g=\sqrt{\alpha G_N}M$, where $M$ is the mass of a body. Cosmological solutions of the theory are derived in a homogeneous and isotropic cosmology. Black holes in MOG are stationary as the end product of gravitational collapse and are axisymmetric solutions with spherical topology. It is shown that the scalar field $\chi$ is constant everywhere for an isolated black hole with asymptotic flat boundary condition. A consequence of this is that the scalar field loses its monopole moment radiation.
