Stanford has spent much of his career as a sportscaster with stints at sister 880 WCBS, WWOR-TV, WNBC, and YES Network before moving over to serve as an anchor at WPIX-TV from 2013-19. He and his former WPIX co-host Sukanya Krishnan currently host “The Suki & Scott Show” on Gannett’s USA Today Network. He has also served as a host of WWE programming since 2009.
Stanford fills the morning anchor opening created by Lee Harris’ move to NewsNation in May.

As a New York broadcaster, it’s an honor to now be one of the morning voices on this legendary station.”
