Video: Glenn Jones Makes Boston TV Debut
Bermudian Glenn Jones recently made his on-air debut as an anchor and reporter for NBC 10 news in Boston.
News anchor Susan Tran tweeted the video below, saying, “Welcome to #NBC10Boston @GlennNBCBoston! Long time friend, first time co-anchor. What fun to have you back in #Boston and working with you again,” They noted Mr Jones was from Bermuda, and asked was he wearing Bermuda shorts.
President and General Manager, NBC10 Boston, NECN, Telemundo Boston and NBC Sports Boston Chris Wayland previously said, “Glenn is a very talented journalist. I’m thrilled to welcome him to our NBC10 Boston news family and look forward for our audiences to see him in action reporting about our communities.”
The company previously said, “A past Boston/New England Emmy Award winner, Jones has nearly a decade of experience in television news, including a three-year tenure as a general assignment reporter in the Boston market. He also spent four years as an anchor and reporter for the NBC affiliate in Fort Myers, Florida, and at the ABC affiliate in Springfield, MA.
“After working in local TV, Jones worked as press secretary for the Island of Bermuda, where he led crisis communications and media relations for the country’s highest elected office. In addition, he worked as General Manager for MediaHouse, the parent company for Bermuda.com, Island Press and the Bermuda Sun, where he spearheaded the operations, business development, sales and marketing efforts for a company with affiliates throughout the Caribbean region.
“Jones most recently worked as interim CEO and Chief Experience Officer for the Bermuda Tourism Authority, where he held a variety of leadership roles since 2015. During that time, Jones hosted the globally televised America’s Cup in 2017, secured the world’s first spectator-attended PGA Tour event since the start of the pandemic, and created a multi-year national tourism plan that directly helped to reshape the island’s relevance as a sports and luxury vacation destination.
“Jones received his Bachelor of Science degree in Broadcast Journalism from Emerson College in Boston. He is a devoted Boston Celtics and Red Sox fan and is an active community volunteer with special interests in the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion, youth literacy and mentorship.”
Congratulations Glenn! Bermudian Talent can shine on any stage in the world!
Another Bermudian driven from his home.
Sad for Bermuda but well done Glenn!
he was not driven from his home. he had a very successful career in Bermuda in different capacities. Now he has decided to go back to TV journalism. Why make more of it than it is? I am sure working on NBC boston will give him much more exposure than working for local news channels.
Glenn and the BTA were vilified by the PLP Government at every opportunity, hence my comment that he was driven from his home.
Why wasn’t Glenn made head of the BTA after Kevin Dallas quit?
I wish him the best. This shows that black men are equal to white men. Unfortunately the obaUBP only found this out after changing the party name. It’s also the very reason the party is having a hard time right now finding candidates. Good luck oba.
wow…had to make it about race didn’t you?
That’s sad.
Look around Bermuda is getting just like the USA politics! Race is the only reason governments are winning today.
If I didn’t see his face I would have sworn he was American with that accent.
He sounds American?
