DENVER — Scotty Gange is a Sports Anchor and Reporter at 9NEWS in Denver, Colorado.
In May of 2020, Scotty graduated a year early from ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications, got a job at 9NEWS and then turned 21 – all in the same week.
Soon after, Scotty was recognized as the 2020 Jim Nantz Award Winner, awarded to the nation’s top collegiate sportscaster.
“There’s just a lot of things that I see there that are just way beyond your years so from right here, from me, I’m just so honored to have your name on this award,” Nantz told Gange during the broadcast.
Scotty spent his first two years at 9NEWS as the Prep Sports Reporter. During that time he created the popular 9NEWS Swag Chain segment and was also named Colorado Sportscaster of the Year twice by the Colorado Broadcaster's Association.
The Colorado high school athletic directors association also honored him with their annual media award for outstanding prep sports coverage after his 1st year and the Colorado High School Coaches Association did the same in his 2nd year on the beat.
Scotty is from San Diego and graduated from Torrey Pines High School. He was a three-sport varsity athlete in school (football, baseball, track) and was captain of the football team and awarded most spirited in his senior class in 2017. Although he is most proud of his ‘Best Smile’ award in the 6th grade.
Scotty starts the majority of his shows with “It’s a good day to have a great day, hi everybody!” which are nods to his family, friends and mentor.
Gange looks to bring joy and positivity in everything he does. His reasoning is that sports are fun, so sports reporting should also be fun.
He has two older brothers, Christian (27) and Charlie (30), and is a proud uncle... The fun one!
Scotty is a confident below-average snowboarder and a bigger fan of "The Office" than you.
Gange calls Denver “The Ver” — his friends say it’s dumb, but he’s sticking to it.
