Marty Bass (born April 18, 1953) is a television news personality and weatherman for WJZ 13 in Baltimore, Maryland.
Marty arrived at WJZ in 1977 and in 1983 launched the Eyewitness News Morning Edition with Oprah Winfrey as co-anchor.
From 1984–2014, Marty was paired with anchor Don Scott. Many Marylanders simply knew the broadcast as "Don and Marty."
Bass served as co-anchor of WJZ's morning program until 2018, holding the Baltimore TV record, at the time, as the longest-tenured anchor of the same broadcast. He has since been surpassed by colleague Denise Koch who has co-anchored the station's 6 p.m. broadcast since 1988.
Marty is now the feature reporter for WJZ News @9. In 2026, after 48 years at WJZ, Bass retired at the end of May.[1]
For 25 years (1987–2012) Bass was also part of "The Laurie DeYoung Morning Show" on WPOC-FM.
Bass was briefly suspended from WJZ in December 1985 following a legal case, and was acquitted the following month.[2]
Bass lives in Brooklandville, Maryland, with his wife, Sharon, and their two children.[3][full citation needed]
