Los Angeles CBS affiliate KCAL is mourning the loss of a beloved anchor.
Chauncy Glover, an Emmy-winning journalist and evening anchor for the network, has died, his family shared. He was 39.
"We, Sherry and Robert Glover, along with Chauncy's beloved family, are devastated by the unimaginable loss of our beloved Chauncy," the Glover family wrote in a statement to KCAL. "He was more than a son and brother—he was a beacon of light in our lives and a true hero to his community."
Chauncy’s family went on to celebrate his work outside of the newsroom, including The Chauncy Glover Project, the mentorship program he created—after witnessing the death of a teen while on assignment in Michigan—for young men in underserved communities that helped them dress for success and become, as he said on the organization’s website, “moral leaders of society.”
And it is that passion for building community is what his family sees as his legacy.
"Chauncy's compassion and dedication to helping others, especially through the Chauncy Glover Project, changed countless lives and inspired so many young men to pursue their dreams," his family’s statement continued. "His talent, warmth, and vision left an imprint on everyone who knew him, and the world is dimmer without him."
His loved ones added, "While we grieve this profound loss, we are comforted by the outpouring of love and memories shared by those who knew Chauncy as the passionate, gifted soul he was. We kindly ask for privacy as we mourn and honor his incredible legacy. He was taken from us far too soon, but his impact will be felt forever."
His cause of death has not been shared.
A native of Montgomery, Alabama, Chauncey got his start as an actor, appearing in several Off-Broadway plans before embarking on a career as a motivational speaker. Chauncy began his news career in Columbus, Georgia, before moving to Jacksonville, Florida, and then to Detroit, Michigan—where he won three Emmys for his reporting.
He joined KCAL in Los Angeles in October 2023 where he co-anchored the 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscast with Pat Harvey and the 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts alongside Suzie Suh. His passion for journalism was sparked at a young age, and with the help of his father he was able to live out that dream.
“I knew it was something I always wanted to do,” Chauncy previously told KCAL. “My dad built me a little anchor desk when I was 5-years-old and every Sunday after church I would do my little newscast. I’ve always been interested in reading and writing and telling stories, and keeping people informed. So, I knew this was something I wanted to do early on and it’s a passion.”
