Broadcast/Video Journalist
Hunter Landon joined the WBOC News team in June of 2021 and serves as an anchor of WBOC News at 7 and a reporter.
Hunter enters the TV world with years of experience in radio. Previously, he served as News Director and Chief Anchor for Adams Radio Group in Salisbury, including OC104 and 93.5 The Beach. There, he spearheaded daily and breaking news coverage. Prior to that, he was a Reporter and Anchor for 92.7 WGMD, the News/Talk station in Rehoboth.
Hunter has known he was passionate for broadcasting and journalism from a young age. While other kids his age were watching cartoons, 8-year-old Hunter was watching WBOC's local news. By the age of 10, he was anchoring his own homemade newscasts from his childhood bedroom.
At just 12 years of age, Hunter visited the WBOC NewsPlex and met his then-idol, now-colleague Steve Hammond.
Hunter has worn many hats at WBOC, first serving as Mid-Shore reporter, then as our morning reporter, then as weekend morning anchor and most recently as weekend evening anchor. He also enjoys filling in as needed whether it be as anchor or producer.
Hunter is the proud recipient of six Chesapeake Associated Press Broadcasters Association Awards, including two consecutive wins for Best Reporter.
Hunter is a Delmarva native, born in Easton and raised just outside of Cambridge. He attended Salisbury University and Chesapeake College.
When he's not in the newsroom or out on a story, Hunter loves relaxing with friends and family and visiting every facet of the Delmarva Peninsula.
