The three-time Emmy-winning journalist and anchor had worked for KCAL for just over a year before his death.
Three-time Emmy-winning journalist and Los Angeles TV news anchor Chauncy Glover died unexpectedly Tuesday, his family announced. He was 39.
Glover had co-anchored the 5 and 11 p.m. newscasts at KCAL with Pat Harvey, and he shared the desk with Suzie Suh at 8 and 10 p.m. for the last year after he joined the anchor team in October 2023.
His family announced the news in a statement to KCAL, writing: "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 cause of death had not been made public as of Wednesday morning.
In one of his last social media posts, he shared a video on Instagram highlighting some of his most memorable moments with KCAL. His caption read, "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!"
Before he worked with KCAL in Los Angeles, Glover was the first Black male main anchor for Houston’s KTRK, where he was on the air for eight years, according to KCAL.
Glover, an Alabama native, worked in Michigan, Florida, Georgia and Texas before he relocated to California.
One of his accomplishments outside of his journalistic career was founding the Chauncy Glover Project, a mentoring program created to help develop "inner-city teenage boys into upstanding and accomplished gentlemen," its website says. The program focuses on college readiness, etiquette, public speaking, financial responsibility and mental health awareness, among other skills.
"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 wrote in their statement. "His talent, warmth, and vision left an imprint on everyone who knew him, and the world is dimmer without him."
"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,” they concluded. "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."

“I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we’re upset by the seasons of our economy.”
“It’s for sure a white man’s world in America. Look here: I raised that boy since he was the size of a piss-ant. And I’ll say right now, he never learned to read and write. No, sir. Had no brains at all. Was stuffed with rice pudding between th’ ears. Shortchanged by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now! Yes, sir, all you’ve gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want. Gobbledy-gook!”
It seems very appropriate for Biden.
Just a yute !
Sadly, it’s also lacking in the suburbs too
Suicide? Drugs?
“Sadly, it’s also lacking in the suburbs too”
Yes, it is. We split our time between the California Bay Area and our North Idaho place. There is a lot more civility and courtesy in Idaho, especially with young people. The kids in Idaho will hold the door for me, call me “sir,” ask if they can help take my grocery purchases out to my car, offer to take the cart back to the store, greet me with a smile, ask how my day is going. Sadly, I’m never treated that way in the California Bay Area. I’ll frequently be walking up to a store door and a kid will just let the door go in my face. The rudeness is awful.
Speaking of Fauci, Elon Musk is looking for him
Words of wisdom from Chauncy.
He took over the job after the guy who had that job was fired after 8 years. He filed a lawsuit saying he was fired because he was a white male. CBS ceo has stated that they will use quotas with 40% going to non whites.
Drug overdose. The anti-vax conspiracy theorist are 0-535 when it comes to blaming "unexpected" deaths on the Covid vaccine.
