The Denver Post’s Joanne Ostrow reports that Tom Green will leave KWGN/Channel 2 this spring when his contract expires:
“It’s just time to change my vista,” Green said. “I don’t have a plan.” The anchor known for his droll style will stay in Denver and will likely remain in broadcasting, he said. He has had conversations about a return to sportscasting. “I’m not retiring.”
