Ed Greene’s 47-year career in Denver’s news industry is coming to a close, the weather forecaster announced Friday. During his final appearance Friday on 9NEWS mornings, Greene announced he’d be passing on his weather clicker and leaving the Denver news scene — for good. Greene’s nearly half-a-century career in Denver television and radio included time at 9NEWS, Denver7, CBS Colorado and KOA radio. The 47-year veteran of Denver’s news scene broke into broadcast journalism in radio at KIMN’s Mix 100 in 1972, joined Denver7 as a weather and news anchor in 1976 and jumped to CBS Colorado’s Channel 4 in 1981. When Greene was phased out of CBS Colorado in 2017, the weather forecaster retired for the first time.
