Dan Green
KSBW Channel 8, (831) 758-8888, ksbw.com
KSBW has, over the years, had its share of icons. The sardonic Dennis Lehnen on sports, the affable Jim Vanderzwaan on weather, the likable Dina Ruiz on news. But you don’t even have to look at the screen to know when Dan Green is on air. The robust voice! The slightly Dean Martin-into-his-third-martini delivery! And who doesn’t love it when Green, who’s been in the news biz since 1989, tells tales of cute, cuddly beasts via his signature “Animal Stories.” Tune in at 5, 6 and 11. You’ll fall as hard for him as our Best Of voters do.
