One of Denver TV news' biggest stars has announced his exit date.
The Benemann story begins when he was growing up in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette."I was able to read Mike Royko and so many great columnists in the newspaper and watch this cast of great TV reporters and anchors — and I thought the TV thing could be exciting and rewarding," he says.
After fourteen months at Denver7, Benemann scored an on-air position in the Salinas/Monterrey, California, market, where he specialized in reporting on Santa Cruz County for the princely sum of $14,000 per annum. Just over a year later, he was hired to cover Boulder County for 9News, then owned by the national media firm Gannett, which subsequently assigned him to work in its Washington, D.C., bureau. He stayed there for three years before returning to 9News as the weekend sports anchor.
A 2017 photo of 9News anchor Tom Green, former 9News anchor Mark Koebrich and Jim Benemann engaging in a"'Newsman Pretending to Listen to Producer' competition.""I was there for six years," Benemann says."Then Bill Stuart, my old buddy from CBS4, was getting set to retire, and the general manager gave me a call — and they made a very good offer. It was great to get back to Channel 4.
Now he's looking ahead to a life outside of television. Benemann says that he and Karen, his second wife, are"a Brady Bunch family," with a total of eight children and five grandchildren from their collective unions. Hanging out with them is a priority, as are trips abroad. They'd love to visit Slovenia — a junket there was called off"when the ’rona hit," he divulges — and New Zealand is high on their wish list, too.
