Power Broker: Chuck Scarborough
When you hear the name Chuck Scarborough, you think of New York news in all its glory. Scarborough is likely the most recognizable face in local news, and his strong, reassuring voice delivers a nightly dose of reality.
Scarborough also has a distinct talent of articulating the ordinary into extraordinary stories, thus making him a legend among news anchors. Though Scarborough resides in Connecticut with his wife, Ellen, he has spent the last 30 years retreating to the East End of Long Island and has become a fixture here, noting, “It still has a small town feel despite all the glamour. I love the sense of community.”
