Gary Shapiro's fond farewell after almost forty years at 9News.
's ultra-successful morning-news broadcast, just announced his decision to retire in December after nearly four decades at the station, and he admits that schedule hasn't been easy.
In the meantime, Shapiro targeted outlets in Denver,"because I was a skier. I kept applying, kept applying, and finally, somebody hired me" — 9News, in 1983. Over the course of his run, Shapiro has been the glue guy, holding the operation together amid countless shifts in personnel. And while morning news is often satirized as giggly, perky and lightweight, Shapiro has seamlessly avoided such pitfalls.
Today, Shapiro's two kids are grown, and TV has changed in a big way, with far fewer folks tuning in live than at the dawn of his career."There's no doubt we don't have the number of viewers we did, because people can get their news online anytime they want," he points out. Mark Cornetta, president and general manager of 9News, has nothing but compliments for Shapiro."He’s made an indelible mark on Colorado with in-depth reporting over many years about everything from Denver’s Five Points neighborhood to the Air Force Academy to Pope John Paul II’s visit to Colorado in 1993 to his recent program about Amache," he says."Gary’s storytelling is unique and memorable, and we’ve been fortunate to have him with us for the past four decades.
