Heartbreaking loss: Beloved CBS news anchor dies suddenly aged 39

Chauncy Glover, three-time Emmy-winning journalist and news anchor for CBS affiliate KCAL, died aged 39, his family confirmed.

Before joining KCAL in October 2023, Glover spent eight years as a news anchor at Houston’s KTRC-13 station, an ABC affiliate, where he became the first Black male main evening host in the station’s history.

The family confirmed his sudden passing on the same day, November 5, 2024. In the statement they released, they highlighted his work and talent.

Glover’s rich career as a news anchor was marked by his deep commitment to quality news and community service.

Glover was born in Alabama, and showed his love for writing at a very early age. As a child, he showed interest in boats.

When he wasn’t on air, the beloved news anchor was busy running The Chauncy Glover Project

According to the website, the project “is an extensive, hands-on mentoring program, created to groom inner-city teenage boys into upstanding and accomplished gentlemen.”

Further, it says, “This culturally specific intervention for Black and Latino male youth focuses on Education, Manhood, and Self-Empowerment.”

Speaking of Glover and his life, his family said he was a “beacon of light” to anyone in need.

“We, Sherry and Robert Glover, along with Chauncy’s beloved family, are devastated by the unimaginable loss of our beloved Chauncy. He was more than a son and brother — he was a beacon of light in our lives and a true hero to his community,” the family wrote.

In one of his final social media posts, Glover highlighted his most memorable moments as a news anchor with KCAL. 

He captioned the post, “Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going! My first year in #LA on #kcalnews #cbsla in the books! God is good!”
