Jason Dumas joins the 6 ABC team!

6 ABC (WPVI-TV) Action News in Philadelphia has hired a new sports anchor and reporter who grew up in Philadelphia and will return home to replace veteran sports anchor and reporter Jamie Apody.

It will be a homecoming when Jason Dumas hits the airwaves in Philadelphia in November.

Dumas, a Haverford native, confirmed Thursday on his personal X account (formerly Twitter) that he has accepted a position as a sports anchor and reporter for 6 ABC.

Dumas comes to Philadelphia after working at KRON-TV in San Francisco since 2018. Before that, he attended Syracuse University and worked as a production assistant at ESPN. He also was a sports anchor/reporter in Bismarck, North Dakota, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and most recently in Hagerstown, MD, according to his biography on the KRON 4 website.

“It’s the channel I watched growing up.” Dumas posted a message on social media. And serving the community that raised me is a responsibility I will be proud of. I’m coming home.”

Dumas also served as a sideline reporter for the Golden State Warriors G-League team in Santa Cruz and was a radio host on sports talk station 95.7 The Game in San Fanciasco.
