In Part Two of our conversation with Tim Ryan, the story takes a turn.
After building an award-winning career as a television reporter, Tim made a side trip into newsroom management in Salt Lake City — only to discover that life behind a desk, running a newsroom, wasn’t where he belonged.
Then came a moment of perfect timing.
Out of the blue, Tim got the call to return to Dallas — this time as the morning anchor of Good Day. What followed was a defining chapter in North Texas television history. Tim became the steady, sometimes grumpy, always sharp and endlessly informative leader of FOX 4’s number-one-rated morning show, leaving a legacy viewers still remember.
In this episode, Tim also opens up about something rarely discussed in TV news:
the physical toll of overnight hours, early alarms, and the long-term impact that schedule had on his health.
