The television industry is pausing to pay its respects to Glover, who has unexpectedly passed away. Most recently associated with KCAL-9 and KCBS-2 in Los Angeles, Glover's death was announced Wednesday morning by CBS Los Angeles. 

In June 2017, media broker Richard A. Foreman shared the news that all of Radio Vermont Group’s radio stations were up for sale.

What this could mean for broadcasters is monumental, as the Rosenworcel Commission will be coming to an end, along with Democratic control of the upper body of Congress.
