COLUMBIA, S.C. — Erika Glover is a journalist at WLTX-TV in Columbia, South Carolina. Erika anchors our station's evening newscasts, including Friends at Five. She joined the WLTX News19 team in December of 2024.
Erika was born and raised in Irmo, South Carolina, and currently calls Chapin home. She left the Carolinas to attend Pennsylvania State University. However, after working in Kentucky, Florida, and Tennessee, Erika decided to return home and continue her passion for serving others.
In December 2023, she partnered with South Carolina's Darius Rucker to organize a Christmas giveaway during her time in Nashville. She handed out 100 new coats, sneakers, hygiene packs, books, and much more! Erika hopes to bring similar initiatives to Soda City.
When she's not organizing her next nonprofit event, Erika is busy volunteering, spending time with her daughter and husband, training for her next marathon with her mom, or fishing on Lake Murray with her dad—Captain Mike Glover.
