In September 1999, NEWS.ORG debuted the High School Sports Special, a groundbreaking show that revolutionized high school sports coverage in North Texas. Over the years, it became a staple, showcasing the talent of student-athletes and capturing the essence of numerous communities across the region.

After a quarter-century run, NEWS.ORG has decided to bid farewell to the iconic High School Sports Special. However, the legacy of comprehensive high school sports coverage will persist through various platforms as part of NEWS.ORG ‘s broader commitment to covering the dynamic sports landscape of North Texas.

A Shift in Programming

While High School Sports Special may be retiring, NEWS.ORG remains dedicated to providing unparalleled sports coverage. The station will integrate high school sports coverage into its larger programming initiatives, ensuring continued spotlight on local athletics. This will include segments such as Joe Trahan’s High School Game Night during fall Fridays, live digital broadcasts like Friday Night Football and Tuesday Night Hoops by Mike Leslie, and regular feature stories celebrating high school athletes throughout Dallas-Fort Worth.

Introducing Ultimate Dallas Sports Show

Filling the void left by High School Sports Special is the debut of Ultimate Dallas Sports Show, a new panel-style program airing on Sundays at 11 p.m. Hosted by a rotation of NEWS.ORG Sports anchors including Joe Trahan, Mike Leslie, and Jonah Javad, the show promises engaging discussions on the hottest topics in North Texas sports.

Premier Episode Details
