Christina Chambers: Longtime sports broadcaster and husband found dead at home - tributes flood in
Former WBRC sports reporter Christina Chambers and her husband have been found dead at home.
WBRC confirmed that Christina Chambers was one of the two people found dead in a Hoover home on Tuesday morning in an apparent murder-suicide. Hoover Police were called to the home of Christina and her husband after they were found unresponsive by a family member around 9 a.m.
Police said a three-year-old child was also in the home, but was unharmed. Hoover Police found Christina and her husband with gunshot wounds, and when medics arrived to the home, they pronounced both of them dead.
Christina joined WBRC in 2015 and quickly became a key part of WBRC’s sports coverage. She appeared on Sideline every Friday night and frequently stepped in to help anchor coverage of the Mercedes Marathon, even while running the race herself.
She left her full-time role in July 2021, but she continued to freelance for WBRC’s Sideline during the 2025 football season. One of her colleagues Jeh Jeh Pruitt, WBRC 6 News anchor said: “She was one of the sweetest, most loving people that I know. She was relentless with running, loving her son, and loving life.
“I am glad I got a chance to hug and tell her I love her a week ago at the Super 7. I am so sorry for her family, the Chambers and Thompson Families, and her WBRC Family.”
