Behind the Scenes
Doug Whitehead
CBS4 Producer Doug Whitehead is known for his award-winning photojournalism as well as for his Colorado travel expertise. As co-author of "Colorado's Best," a guidebook to great places to see and fun things to do, and producer of Colorado Getaways, a half-hour program that covers all corners of the State, he's always on the lookout for stories that might be interest to CBS4 viewers.
Doug has produced many CBS4 stories over the years, but he is best known for his award-winning work as the producer of Colorado Getaways. With more than 15 seasons under Doug's direction, this half-hour show airs on CBS4 on selected Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. Colorado Getaways began as a seasonal travel special in the late 1980s. It now has a reputation as the television authority on Colorado outdoors activities, historical places and things to do. Nearly 20 new programs air every year, each show featuring six different locations around the state.
Doug writes, produces and voices many episodes himself on the show. He works hard to ensure that Colorado Getaways covers all corners of Colorado, including famous spots like the Great Sand Dunes and Rocky Mountain National Park, but you can be sure that he's always keeping an eye out for lesser-known and out-of-the-way places.
