After graduating from Missouri's School of Journalism, Janet Webb began her career at KEAA-FTV in Colorado Springs, Colorado.<ref>??</ref> While in Colorado Springs, she met and married her husband, Bryant Allen. In 1980, Webb left KEAA and signed-on with KSTX in San Antonio as a reporter. Her husband, Bryant, who was also in the broadcast industry, worked as a co-host of the popular entertainment show, PM Magazine. For years Janet and Bryant would move from state to state as each one grew in their career. When Bryant landed a job at [[WPTL-FTV|WPTL]] in Pittsburgh, Janet left KSTX and joined him, working as a news reporter at WPTL. After two years at the CBS affiliate (now an NBC affiliate) in Pittsburgh, Janet and Bryant were offered positions back in San Antonio, once again with [[KSTX-FTV]]. Now the parents of a one-year-old daughter, Brittany, Bryant eventually left the business (he has since returned) and Janet landed a job as the main news anchor at [[WLOK-FTV]] in Louisville, Kentucky in 1982. Webb made her final career move to KDNC-FTV in Denver in 1987 - anchoring the popular 5, 6, and 10 p.m. (called ''Channel 2 Eyewitness News'') and much celebrated 9PM newscast (originally called ''Fox 2 Eyewitness News Primetime'' after the station switched from CBS to Fox on March 4, 1996), teaming Webb with Eddie Bjork from 1987 until 1993, former KIAA morning anchor [[Kymberly Alvaraz|Kym Christian]] from her March 7, 1994 debut until her departure on June 20, 2014 (Webb and Christian surpassed KIAA's [[Elaine Carson]] and [[Edd Stardell]] as the longest tenured anchor team in Denver) and Lori Fonda since July 2014. | After graduating from Missouri's School of Journalism, Janet Webb began her career at KEAA-FTV in Colorado Springs, Colorado.<ref>??</ref> While in Colorado Springs, she met and married her husband, Bryant Allen.
