Chauncy Glover, a renowned news anchor for the Los Angeles-based television stations KCBS and KCAL, has tragically passed away at the tender age of 39. The news of his demise was solemnly broadcast on KCAL on Tuesday, leaving the cause of his death undisclosed.
In a heartfelt statement, Chauncy's family, including Sherry and Robert Glover, along with his cherished kin, conveyed their immeasurable grief. "We are shattered by the unthinkable loss of our beloved Chauncy. He was not merely a son and brother; he was a radiant beacon in our lives and a genuine hero within his community. Through the Chauncy Glover Project, his boundless compassion and unwavering dedication to uplifting others transformed countless lives and ignited the dreams of numerous young men. His exceptional talent, warm demeanor, and visionary spirit left an indelible mark on everyone who crossed his path, rendering the world a little darker in his absence," they lamented.
Hailing from Athens, Alabama, Glover shared co-anchoring duties with Pat Harvey across both stations of the duopoly and Suzie Suh on KCAL, as detailed on his official profile. Prior to joining KCAL News in October 2023, he spent eight esteemed years at Houston's KTRK-TV, KABC-TV's sister station. His journey at KTRK began as the weekend morning anchor, culminating in a 2018 promotion to the esteemed evening anchor role.
According to his KTRK biography, Chauncy's fascination with news reporting blossomed at age five when his father crafted a miniature 'anchor desk' for him, enabling weekly family newscasts after church. This early passion led him to pursue broadcast journalism, music, and theater at Troy University in Alabama.
Chauncy's legacy extends beyond the newsroom; he famously founded the Chauncy Glover Project, a mentorship initiative dedicated to nurturing kindness and leadership among young men. This program boasts an impressive track record of sending over 350 boys to college and mentoring more than 1,000 young individuals. Before his tenure in Houston, his career spanned stations including WDIV in Detroit, Michigan; WTVM in Columbus, Georgia; and CBS 47 and Fox 30 in Jacksonville, Florida. A recipient of three Emmys and numerous other professional accolades, Chauncy's impact resonates deeply.
