Chet Curtis is a primetime anchor at NECN. He anchors The Chet Curtis Report and Chet Curtis Live at Five.

For the majority of his time with WCVB, Curtis, with Jacobson, co-anchored the station's principal weekday newscasts, and was the original host of the station's award winning Chronicle program.

(who re-launched the Channel 5 assignment as today's WCVB).

Before coming to New England, Curtis worked as an anchor and reporter at the CBS flagship station in New York City, and prior to that at WTOP-TV (now WUSA-TV), the CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C., also as an anchor and reporter. He has three daughters, and currently resides in Quincy, Massachusetts. Curtis is an avid pilot and sailor.

The Chet Curtis Report is a nightly news and interview program that airs on New England Cable News from 8:00-8:30 p.m. Anchored by Curtis, the program offers a unique mix of high-profile, in-depth and exclusive interviews.
