Jim Vance

Jim Vance (born 1940 in Ardmore, Pennsylvania) is an American television news anchor. Vance originally studied to be a teacher and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education from Cheyney University in Cheyney, Pa.

He currently anchors the 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. editions of News4 on WRC-TV in Washington, DC. He has worked for WRC-TV since 1969, and in 1972, he became the station's main co-anchor, as one of the first African-Americans to serve in this position at any American television station. Between 1972 and 1976 Mr. Vance worked as co-anchor with Glenn Rinker at WRC-TV-4. Between 1976 and 1980, Vance co-anchored with Sue Simmons, a pairing that resulted in one of the first, if not the first, African-American co-anchors of a major market newscast. Since 1989, he has been part of currently the longest-running anchor team in Washington, alongside co-anchor and health reporter Doreen Gentzler and meteorologist Bob Ryan.

Vance has earned 17 Emmys and has been inducted into the National Association Of Black Journalists Hall Of Fame. He has also been named "Washingtonian of the Year" by "Washingtonian" magazine.

Vance lives in the Spring Valley section of Washington, D.C.
