This Just In

The Legend: Sportscaster Ted Dawson

Before ESPN… before sports highlights became fast-paced and personality-driven… Ted Dawson helped change the way TV sportscasters delivered the nightly sports coverage. His legendary career took him from Los Angeles to Dallas, but it was during a decade at the ABC affiliate in L.A. where Ted found himself surrounded by Hollywood stars and sports legends on an almost daily basis. The stories he can tell — and the names he can drop — are simply astounding. Ted has the photos to prove it too… including a picture of him playing basketball with Hall of Famer Bill Russell in what turned out to be the final basketball game Russell ever played. And then there’s the unbelievable story of the run-in Ted had with Sylvester Stallone while Stallone was working on the set of Rocky. Don’t miss this incredible conversation on “This Just In” Podcast with Rich and Bryan.”

Fox4 Chief Photog Paul Beam

He’s a farm kid from Kansas who never planned on TV news… until a no-show changed everything. When another student didn’t make it to shoot a basketball game, Paul Beam grabbed the camera — and that moment turned into a career. Now, he’s the chief photographer at the top-rated station in DFW, KDFW-TV (Fox 4 Dallas–Fort Worth). He’s been in the middle of the chaos — chasing breaking news, capturing the moments that matter — and now he’s leading the photographers who do it every day. We talk about what it takes to lead in a high-pressure newsroom, the highs and the gut-punch lows… and how he learned to build a healthy balance between the demands of the job and the people who matter most at home. Paul Beam — on This Just In with Rich and BRYAN.

Kyle Rovinsky — on This Just In with Rich and BRYAN.

He’s a third-generation Texan who didn’t wait for a door to open — he talked his way in. Kyle Rovinsky started as a gopher with Fox 4 Sports during the Cowboys’ Super Bowl years… and turned it into a successful career as a sports TV producer. Then came the pivot. Using that same hustle and people skills, he built something even bigger — becoming one of North Texas’ top real estate players. And along the way, he created The Luncheoneers — a monthly gathering of some of DFW’s most connected names in sports, media, and business, meeting face-to-face at iconic local restaurants. It’s all about relationships… and turning opportunity into something more. Kyle Rovinsky — on This Just In with Rich and BRYAN.

Steve Noviello — on “This Just In” with Rich & Bryan

He’s a kid from New York who got an early taste of TV… and never let go. What started as a spark turned into a mission — not just to make it in television, but to become the best consumer reporter in America. And he did it. But Steve Noviello didn’t stop there. Now, he’s reinventing himself again — creating wildly popular talk shows at KDFW-TV (Fox 4 Dallas–Fort Worth) that are not just competing… they’re beating network late-night shows. It’s a fascinating career evolution, a great conversation… and one really good guy. Steve Noviello — on “This Just In” with Rich & Bryan.

THIS JUST IN: FROM SEARCHING… TO SIDELINES

He didn’t grow up dreaming of the bright lights of pro sports. In fact, Larry Rodriguez was just a young man trying to figure out his path — until one unexpected turn put a camera in his hands… and changed everything. That moment launched a career that would take him to the biggest stages in sports — on the sidelines with the Dallas Cowboys, inside the dugout with the Texas Rangers, and face-to-face with some of the biggest names in the game. For years, he wasn’t just covering history — he was right there when it happened. The stories he’s gathered… the moments he’s witnessed… and yes, the names he can drop — are nothing short of remarkable. And now — he’s telling them to Rich and Bryan.
