PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Don Roberts, a WAVY/FOX43 icon, is celebrating his 30th year at the station.

As the morning anchor, Don helps the Hampton Roads community get their day going.

For nearly three consecutive decades, Don’s broadcast has ranked No. 1 in Hampton Roads.

Don is beloved member of the WAVY staff and the Hampton Roads community, where he volunteers a lot of time.

“When you get to work alongside a man who is as beloved in his community as he is, you know you’re in a good place,” News Director Mark Kurtz said. “Don has his pulse on Hampton Roads. He is the quintessential volunteer and spends countless hours outside work giving back to the
community. This is a testament to the type of person he is and is a key reason why more people wake up to WAVY every day.”

What you may not know is Don is a published author. His 1993 book “Rap To Live By” is a collection of positive poetry and rap songs for kids of all ages.
