After earning his degree from Marshall University (Go Herd!) in 2007, Bryant Somerville embarked on his professional journey with the ABC/FOX affiliate in the Huntington/Charleston market. It didn’t take long for a transformative thought to shape his approach to storytelling: Why not present news in a way that captivates and engages the audience, just as he would want to experience a story? This simple yet powerful concept became the guiding principle of his career, emphasizing the importance of giving viewers a reason to watch, trust, and care about the stories being shared.
His journey in television led him to the vibrant city of Birmingham, Alabama, where Bryant served as an anchor and reporter for the ABC affiliate for four fulfilling years. During his time there, he was honored with three Alabama AP Awards, including the prestigious Best Reporter award in 2010. Additionally, in 2014, his exceptional writing skills earned him a Regional Edward R. Murrow Award.
Outside of the newsroom, Bryant Somerville’s life centers around his wonderful wife, Whitney, their son, Penn, and their extended families. Their home is filled with the joyful antics of two lovable and slightly crazy dachshunds named Dani and Alvin.
Unapologetically embracing his inner nerd, Bryant finds delight in reading comic books, building intricate Lego creations, and even creating stop-motion Lego movies. But one of his proudest skills is his ability to solve a Rubik’s Cube – a feat that brings him a sense of accomplishment.
Amidst his busy life, Bryant always finds time to cherish moments with loved ones and appreciates connecting with people from all walks of life. He is passionate about sharing compelling stories that resonate with audiences and continue to make a positive impact.
