The anchor and three-time Emmy award-winning journalist, who had made history as the first Black male main anchor at KTRK, spent eight years in Houston before moving to KCAL.
Chauncy Glover passed away suddenly on November 5, 2024, at just 39 years old. Fans of the KCAL News anchor are mourning his death, sharing heartfelt tributes to honor his memory.
Glover had joined KCAL in October 2023, where he worked until his untimely passing. His career in journalism began at WTVM News in Columbus, Georgia, but his passion for storytelling had been evident long before then.
At only five years old, his father built him a small anchor desk, and Glover would perform newscasts for his family every Sunday after church in their hometown of Athens, Alabama.
To Glover, journalism wasn’t just about reporting; it was a calling.
He saw it as a way to create positive change through storytelling and community involvement.
Throughout his career, he worked in states such as Georgia, Florida, Michigan, and Texas before landing at KCAL in California.
At KCAL, he co-anchored the 5 and 11 p.m. newscasts with Pat Harvey and partnered with Suzie Suh for the 8 and 10 p.m.
broadcasts.
Those who were impacted by his work and dedication are now mourning and offering their support to his family.
One person expressed their sadness online: “Very, very sad. So young.
My condolences to his entire family.” Another wrote in shock, “My Lord, only 39 years old!
What happened? My thoughts are with his family and friends.”
Many reflected on the loss, with comments like, “Gone too soon,” and “Another talented young man taken too early. May he rest in peace.” One fan remarked, “I’m in absolute shock.
Chauncy was young and just at the beginning of his time with KCAL.”
Others remembered him fondly, with one saying, “Chauncy was an outstanding anchor… Loved his personality and lively spirit on air.
My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. May his memory be a blessing.”
Another viewer noted how much they valued his presence: “So very sad.
Far too young. I enjoyed watching him nightly.” Fans were left stunned, with one sharing, “This is so shocking.
I watched him last week, and now he’s gone at such a young age.
RIP CHAUNCY GLOVER. My thoughts are with the KCAL 9 team.”
One viewer expressed their sense of loss: “So sad, I really enjoyed seeing him on the 8 p.m. broadcast.
He will be sorely missed.
My condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.”
From a young age, Glover’s passion for journalism was matched by his dedication to the communities he served. He demonstrated this through powerful storytelling and outreach programs.
While at WDIV in Detroit, he launched a mentorship program inspired by witnessing the loss of a young life.
This led to the creation of The Chauncy Glover Project (CGP).
According to its website, CGP is a hands-on mentorship initiative that helps young men become confident, responsible leaders.
The program covers topics such as dressing for success, manhood, etiquette, college preparation, tutoring, public speaking, and community service. Glover and his team met with students in grades 7-12 twice a month for sessions that focused on personal development and empowering experiences.
