Tom Green is leaving Denver NBC affiliate KUSA after more than forty years in broadcasting.
He started his Denver career in 1982 after working at ESPN in Bristol, Connecticut. He returned to the station in October 2017 after working for 15 years at KWGN in Denver.
“I drove from Bristol, Connecticut, to Denver in the very first days of 1982. My first stop, once I hit town, was 9NEWS – the “old building” – at 1089 Bannock St. I’d left ESPN for a job in Colorado – a place I’d only read about, or seen on TV,” he wrote in a goodbye letter posted to the station’s site. “I didn’t know anyone really, but I was excited … and terrified. So, here I am 43 years later … and now, it’s time for something else.”
In 35 years in Colorado, he’s done everything from play-by-play sports to hosting an ESPN game show called Sports On Tap. He’s also covered sports for KMGH and did 3 years of sports talk radio at The Fan with co-hosts Doug Moe & Dan Issel.
He said he has a couple of projects he has been working towards, “but I’m not sure how much (or even if) I plan to work anymore. My guess is I will, but not in a 24/7/365 news environment like I have been doing.”
