Dan Green is anchor of KSBW Action News 8 at 5:00, and co-anchor of KSBW Action News 8 at 6:00 and 11:00 PM. He has served the Central Coast as a leading voice for factual reporting in our communities for over 30 years.
A lifetime broadcast journalism veteran, Dan Green has extensive experience in both television and radio. In radio, he received countless wire service awards for breaking news coverage and was a member of the Peabody Award-winning news team at KCBS-AM. He began his television career with KGO-TV in San Francisco by covering the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
Following his reporting in San Francisco, he worked as a field producer for the ABC network. He later was named anchor and news director at KMIZ-TV in Columbia, Missouri, where he was honored three times with the Missouri Broadcaster’s Association award for breaking news coverage.
Dan has guided viewers through some of the most defining moments for the Central Coast community and the nation -- from the O.J. Simpson verdict in 1995, when he first reported for KSBW 8 from Los Angeles, to breaking local coverage of wildfires, floods, and the events of September 11th, 2001. He was the only local anchor to report from Washington D.C. for the 2015 canonization of Father Junípero Serra; when a mass shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival shook the Central Coast in 2019, he stayed on-air, guiding viewers through the event in the days and weeks to follow. Earlier this year, he was first on the air with KSBW’s breaking news coverage of the Moss Landing Battery Plant Fire.
Dan has been chosen as best male anchor each year in local viewer polls and has been honored with the highly coveted Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio and Television News Directors Association.
Beyond the newsroom, Green’s voice has championed countless local causes. His fundraising efforts have helped raise millions of dollars for Central Coast nonprofits, earning him the inaugural Community Impact Award from the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, presented by former U.S. Secretary of Defense and Monterey native Leon Panetta.
Dan resides in Monterey with his wife and their two children.
