BUFFALO, N.Y. — Jon Scott is the Sports Director for WGRZ.
Jon’s TV career has spanned a handful of stations between Ohio and Western New York. It began in 2007 as the Sports Director for the FOX/CBS/ABC affiliate in Lima, Ohio. From there, he worked as a news producer, reporter, editor, and photographer for the ABC/FOX affiliate in Dayton, Ohio before returning to sports fully with the CBS/FOX/ABC in Youngstown, Ohio. Mostly recently, Jon spent over a decade as a sports reporter/anchor and Buffalo Bills beat reporter for Spectrum News in Buffalo.
After being born and raised in the Cleveland suburb of Solon, Jon attended the University of Dayton, graduating with a degree in communications.
While sports has always been a passion, music was Jon’s main focus growing up. He was an award-winning singer and performer as well as earning leading roles in musical theater. Jon was voted the “Most Musical” of his senior class of high school.
Now he enjoys playing sports as well as exercising and exploring the best spots to eat and drink around WNY – especially places that are dog friendly so his yellow lab Otto can join he and wife Heather.
