Dallas Wings expand local TV
Arlington, TX (April 23, 2025) – Two months after naming TEGNA station KFAA in Dallas-Fort Worth its exclusive local broadcast partner, the Wings are expanding their broadcast reach through additional agreements with TEGNA, Gray Media, and Corridor Television. The agreements will triple the team’s local TV footprint, bringing free, over-the-air Wings games to 6.3 million households across 12 markets during the 2025 season.
The agreements position the Wings as a league leader in both geographic reach and the number of households with access to local broadcasts. This comes on the heels of a franchise-shifting 2025 WNBA Draft for the Wings, highlighted by UConn’s Paige Bueckers as the No. 1 overall pick. The generational talent’s popularity has proven transcendent, as evidenced by television viewership, social media engagement, endorsements signed, and merchandise sales, among other tangible metrics.
“As we prepare for one of the most anticipated seasons in franchise history, we are excited about the opportunity to deliver Dallas Wings basketball into more homes than ever before,” said Wings CEO and Managing Partner Greg Bibb. “Our partners at TEGNA, Gray, and Corridor recognize the incredible demand there is to watch our games and have done a fantastic job in helping us secure additional markets to reach even more of our passionate fanbase.”
Notably, TEGNA worked with the WNBA to add coverage of these games on TEGNA’s KTBU in Houston, KCEN/KAGS-LD in Waco-Killeen, KYTX in Tyler-Longview, KWES in Midland-Odessa, KXVA in Abilene and KIDY in San Angelo. The same games will be carried on Gray Media’s KMYL in Lubbock, KFDA in Amarillo, and KXII in Sherman, along with Corridor Television’s KCWX in San Antonio and KCWX in Austin. Complete station information for the 2025 season is below.
“We’re proud to bring the energy of one of the WNBA’s most exciting teams to fans across the region,” said Brad Ramsey, Senior Vice President, Media Operations at TEGNA. “The passion for the Wings extends well beyond Dallas-Fort Worth, and delivering games free, over- the-air, is a win for both fans and stations.”
“Gray appreciates the opportunity to work with the Wings and TEGNA to bring these exciting games to free over-the-air television in several of our Texas markets,” said Sandy Breland, Gray’s Chief Operating Officer. “This season should be very exciting for the Wings and our viewers.”
“KCWX is excited to help bring Dallas Wings games to more fans than ever before,” said Carmen Tawil, Managing Partner of Corridor Television. “It’s a big moment, and we’re proud to be part of it.”
The Wings announced their 2025 broadcast and streaming schedule at the end of March, which included 28 regular-season games featured on local broadcasts.

Keith Garvin's giant revelation
I've been following KPRC 2 evening anchor Keith Garvin's career long before he arrived in Houston, or before he was in Dallas-Fort Worth anchoring for CBS 11 KTVT (now called CBS News Texas).
In fact, I remember first watching Garvin as a correspondent for ABC News.
But I never knew his out-of-this-world secret...

NewsWest 9 anchor Victor Lopez battling stage 4 colon cancer
Victor Lopez wakes up the Permian Basin every morning on NewsWest 9 KWES Midland, and now is looking for a little sunshine in his life as he battles stage 4 colon cancer.
“I was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma stage 4A colon cancer,” Lopez said on the KWES website. “Being told that you have cancer... it makes you just get a whole new mindset and look at life.”
Seven months ago, Lopez received a life-changing diagnosis. What began as a routine checkup quickly escalated with the discovery of a large tumor in his colon and a lesion on his liver.
In October, Lopez underwent surgery, followed by the start of chemotherapy in November with 12 rounds in total. He hopes to complete his chemotherapy by June.
According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and the fourth leading cause in women. Still, it’s the second most common cause of cancer deaths when numbers for men and women are combined.
Lopez began his career with NewsWest 9 as a reporter in 2007 and was promoted to an anchor in 2011.
Throughout his career, he’s been recognized by the Texas Associated Press Broadcasters, and he takes pride in being part of the 2011 “Best Morning Show,” as voted by TAPB.
