In a media landscape where credibility is earned through consistency and clarity, Chloe Dantes has quietly and steadily built a reputation as one of St. Lucia’s dependable voices in sports journalism and multimedia anchoring. Whether reporting, presenting, or adapting across platforms, her work reflects an understanding that storytelling in sport goes beyond highlights — it requires context, preparation, and trust.
Over the years, Dantes has expanded her presence not only as a sports journalist and anchor, but also as a multimedia professional unafraid to explore new creative avenues, including acting.

Whether navigating tight deadlines or preparing for an in-depth interview, she combines professionalism with a natural ease that engages audiences and interviewees alike. From conversations with Mya George, a prominent St. Lucian basketball player, to discussions with Emmanuel Bellas, former coach of the national under-20 women’s football team, Dantes consistently delivers interviews that are well-prepared, articulate, and insightful — reflecting a journalist who takes her craft seriously while remaining approachable.
In a fast-paced world where sport and storytelling move at an unforgiving rhythm, akin to a Johnson Charles powered hit through the fence, Chloe Dantes has sharpened her craft as a sports journalist with agility and confidence. What began with television interviews and post-game basketball analysis has expanded into a broader engagement with Caribbean sport. Cricket, in particular, now occupies a growing space in her portfolio, with Dantes a familiar presence in the St. Lucia Premier League, the island’s domestic counterpart to the CPL. Over nearly half a decade, her on-camera roles and responsibilities have expanded, reflecting a journalist increasingly at ease navigating both preparation and performance.

Her work reflects not just the ease of her surroundings, but an understanding of the responsibility that comes with telling stories from — and for — her home.
Caught At Point caught up with the ever smiling Chloe Dantes and engaged in a fun chat that covered the evolving landscape of St Lucia, the sports industry, and of course, Cricket:
What are the most prominent and critical sporting events you’ve covered, as on date to this point?
For 2025 I did two major sporting events. SPL T20 a popular franchise based cricket tournament in St. Lucia, featuring local teams like the South Castries Lions and Micoud Eagles. The 2025 season ran from April till may. My second was the party of sport CPL.
This year I came on as one of their social media influencers. I was very optimistic about the St.Lucia kings taking the win again this year, they were amazing but unfortunately we had slight hiccups that cost us a lot.
A slight disappointment but 2026 , WE WILL BE READY!!!!!!!
How has the sporting landscape changed in St Lucia since you began as a sports journalist and presenter vis-a-vis today?
I’ve been doing sports for over 8 years now and I can say it has changed a lot. I will admit that the Sporting landscape especially basketball which is still my favorite needed alot of love. It was clear that growth was needed. But things started picking up steam St. Lucia started winning a lot of regional competitions, Football, Cricket, Swimming, Basketball and even track and field through the likes of Julien Afred.
Washing how she started as a teenager into the young woman that she is now is truly amazing. She actually became St.Lucia first gold medalist at the Olympic Games and that changed everything. Athletes in the island saw that it can be done and that set a fire under everyone to be great. Not just in trach and field but all forms of sports.
She is truly aspiring and I love it. I love hear the youths say they CAN do it to. They don’t put limits on themselves anymore and they work hard to get it done too, it’s not just talk.
Proud moment.
Who are the most prominent sporting names or talents that you’ve covered in your constantly growing journey as an anchor/ presenter in the island?
St.Lucia is small our population is estimated at about 180 thousand people. So I have kinda met and interviewed everyone I wanted to meet. They’re kinda my friends too so I hang out with most of them and have a drink or two. From Ministers, to athletes, to regional TV host I’ve literally done it all. I even starred playing around with phone after matches just to play around with them n do short 1 minute interviews. That has encouraged the athletes to be their best version of themselves on the field as they believe I only interview the mvp. Lol, it’s just for fun so anyone can come and do the interview with me.
What sort of challenges does a woman face in terms of field of Sports Journalism even in this day and age?
Some of the challenges I face: gender stereotypes and bias since sports presenting is traditionally male dominated and female presenters are often face skepticism about the knowledge or credibility. Criticism can sometimes focus more on appearance than performance, adding pressure. Opportunities: growing acceptance and visibility basically increasing recognition of women in sports media is opening doors for high profile roles. Female sports presenters inspire the next generation of girls to pursue sports media careers, increasing representation over time.
So one of the most interesting things about your fascinating and joyful life is a certain Omyra. So what’s happening there?
An extremely proud moment for me. I was in a movie that was released at the cinema. It’s funny because I’m on TV everyday but being on the big screen acting was very much different. The movie name is Omyra and it was recently accepted in the chandler international film festival for 2026. This is actually my third movie with director Elijah N. Anatole.
The other two remain to be unseen. I would love to do a horror for real though or maybe a comedy. But I would say the director put out some concerning pictures of me out there on social media before the movie came out. And everyone literally believed that I was apprehended lol.
My lawyers called me to assist but it was all just pro for the movie. Funny moment is when someone sent it ti my mom n she is calling my phone frantic as she thought it was true. Lol, I’m too much of a good person to ever put myself in that position. I like my freedom.
What are your plans ahead and where would you ideally like to be in the course of the future
I would say my life is pretty much crazy. Starting off as a model, being on bill boards locally, regional and internationally, doing commercials here and abroad. Then doing online funny videos, to being on radio, then immediately switch onto TV , as a reporter, journalist, news anchor, sporta broadcaster all starting off as a teenager. I literally grew up in media and for now I’m very much proud of myself. I can never truly say what my life would be like in the next few years it’s literally always changing but always in the media field.
