Long time 9NEWS Anchor Gary Shiparo will retire from 9NEWS & Channel 20 by year's end. He has been at 9NEWS since 1983 when he joined the station's then Boulder Bureau. He has been on 9NEWS Mornings since 1989 (recently called "Mile High Mornings") .
In his 40-year career he has covered all sorts of things in Denver, from the Pope visiting in 1993 for world youth day to 9/11 (He was on the air when the attacks began), to COVID-19. He will be doing some part time work so he will still be around for a while.
He will retire from day-to-day on-air duties sometime in December.
