Glenn Schuck has been a radio news reporter/anchor for over 40 years. He has covered a variety of different stories and topics from sporting events to 9/11 and the events that happened during the pandemic.

Growing up, Schuck’s parents didn’t want him to pursue a career in radio reporting, saying they were concerned for his welfare and if he would turn this dream into an actual career. But that didn’t stop him from pursuing his childhood dream.

“I enjoy the passion of it [reporting], the storytelling, and [I] really had this passion even when I was in high school,” said 1010 WINS reporter/anchor Glenn Schuck.

Schuck went to Seton Hall University where he got his start in radio. He was also a news director and station manager at WSOU, a DJ at Z100, and WAAF during those years.

“It was college radio that did it for me,” said Schuck.

Since his college radio days, Schuck has accomplished a lot in his career. Schuck started working at 1010 WINS in New York City as a reporter in the year 2000 and an anchor in 2013.

“The highlight of my career is working at 1010 WINS,” said Schuck.

On Sept. 11, 2001, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks where four airplanes were hijacked and carried out suicide attempts targeted at the United States. Schuck was one of the reporters present during the New York attacks and ended up covering the World Trade Center attacks. He also ran into Rudy Giuliani, who was the mayor of New York City at the time.

Schuck went on to report on 9/11 for months after that, writing two books about the terrorist attacks and contributing to an HBO documentary.

“I had a relationship with Rudy Giuliani,” said Schuck. “The day that happened [9/11], that awful day, I found him that morning at the World Trade Center, and I stayed by his side.” He also said that his strong bond with Giuliani is what got him to cover 9/11.

While reporting, Schuck had breathed in the debris of falling buildings and the fumes from the lack of protection, such as face masks. As a result, Schuck has contracted a minor case of Vitiligo, a condition where a person’s skin loses its pigment over time.

“I don’t think we’ll ever recover from it [9/11],” said Schuck, in regards to the emotional effects of 9/11.

Schuck has also been a part of the Inner Circle, a group of reporters who would do various different types of entertainment each year for charity like roasting the mayor. He has also gotten to meet and interview a variety of different people, such as a veteran getting his first COVID-19 vaccine, Former President Donald Trump, and former captain of the New York Yankees Derek Jeter.

For Schuck, he couldn’t be happier with how his life turned out.

“If you have a passion for something, I think I’m kind of proof that it can work out,” said Schuck. Schuck also said that though he never cared about notoriety, he gets to go to work at his dream job every day.

Schuck has had an exciting life and career as a radio reporter/anchor so far, and he continues to share his passion with the world.
