Bob Losure Biography

Bob Losure is a former longtime host of CNN's Headline News who has traveled America and the world as a newscaster, keynote speaker, and emcee. He is also a survivor of testicular cancer.

Losure's career began shortly after graduating from the University of Tulsa with a journalism degree when he worked in the Detroit market as a radio news anchor at the legendary Big 8, CKLW, a station that covered 27 states with the sound of Motown. He anchored local TV news for nine years at CBS's Tulsa affiliate before enduring his cancer diagnosis and, eventually, landing his job with CNN.

At Headline News Losure covered such history-making events as Hurricane Hugo, the San Francisco Earthquake, Manuel Noriega's capture and return to the U.S., and Nelson Mandela's visit to America. His years at CNN gave him a level of experience that few national anchors have been privileged to have.

His autobiography, Five Seconds to Air, focuses on his CNN career as well as the humorous things that go wrong when you’re doing live television news. In the book from Providence House Publishers, Losure gives a very personal look at his own 1985 battle with testicular cancer and how it led him to seek and get the CNN Headline News anchor job. He also talks about his interview on 60 Minutes with reporter Ed Bradley. Beyond his media achievements, Losure has been inducted into the Communications Hall of Fame at The University of Tulsa and received the highest national alumni honor from his fraternity, The Order of West Range.

As a professional emcee, speaker, and corporate spokesperson, Losure has appeared before over 200 groups and organizations, delivering his keynote speech "Lights....Camera....Cancer!" to audiences including M.D. Anderson in Houston, Duke University Medical Center, and the CPCU Society chapter in Cincinnati. His emcee skills have also been showcased in events for major corporations including OfficeMax, RadioShack, and Mercedes-Benz.
