Denver TV biz journalist will retire — once again

Gregg Moss

Gregg Moss, the longtime KUSA business reporter who has retired and returned to the airwaves more than once over the years, will leave the station one last time, following doctors’ orders to slow down, reports Joanne Ostrow of the Denver Post.

Ostrow writes, “Moss first joined the station in October 1993 as its business reporter. He has worked in a variety of businesses over the years. He worked for the Denver Business Journal as marketing director, and in the mid-2000s was publisher of a business weekly called the Fort Worth Business Press.

“He has talked publicly about his struggle with two kinds of arthritis, which also caused him to cut back on work hours in 2003 and again in 2006.

“Moss left broadcasting and went to work for an unrelated business but returned in 2010 under an arrangement with KUSA that allowed him to pursue his outside business interests and continue to work in TV.

“In taking his leave, Moss told the Channel 9 audience Friday morning that he is glad not to have to get up at 1:30 a.m. anymore.”
