Sports/Talk KTCK-FM (Sportsradio 96.7 and 1310 AM The Ticket) in Dallas unveils a new midday on-air lineup. Former Ticket host Matt McClearin re-joins the station after two years on-air at Cumulus sister WJOX-FM (Jox 94.5) in Birmingham. McClearin will partner with Ticket personality Donovan Lewis, who formerly hosted the 10am-noon show with veteran DFW sportscaster Norm Hitzges, now retired. McClearin and Lewis team for a newly expanded show from 10am-1pm, weekdays following "The Musers."

Weekdays from 1-3pm, Ticket personalities Sean Bass and David Mino join forces for a new show. Bass has been with The Ticket for 22 years, most recently as producer of "The Norm and D Invasion." Mino has been with The Ticket for 11 years, most recently as producer of "The Hardline" weekdays from 3-7pm.

The Ticket Program Director Jeff Catlin said, "I couldn't be more excited for the midday makeover on the Ticket. Matt, Sean, and Mino have all earned this opportunity. All three guys are well-known and well-liked by our passionate listeners and their Ticket teammates. They will fit in well and make this a seamless transition. They will carry on the tradition of bringing hot sports opinions and fun and laughs to 10am-1pm and 1-3pm on The Ticket."
