TV Man Ed Groves


Ed graduated from Nashville's John Overton High School in 1967. He later married his high school sweetheart Donna and they've been married 38 years. They have a son and a daughter and 3 grandsons. Ed manages the local NBC and CBS affiliates at WNKY. He moved to Bowling Green in February of '03. In 1974 he started out in sales at Channel 2 in Nashville and was there 8 years. This was followed by stints in Chattanooga, Columbus, GA, Little Rock, Augusta, GA, back to Columbus, GA then to Johnson City, TN, to Charleston, WVA, and finally to Missoula, Montana before coming to B.G. Early on he spent 6 years in the Army Airborne Reserves and jumped out of perfectly good planes. Nowadays he gets his kicks by riding a Harley in the summertime and playing golf. Ed says he got involved with Rotary first in Johnson City in 1997. We're delighted to have him as part of our club and community. I see Ed frequently at the gym when I work out and he is an inspiration.
