Richard Ray

The job description is Anchor/Reporter. Whatever you label it, mine is the best job in America.

I'm a Minnesota native who grew up in a small farming community and finally made his way to KDFW-TV in October of 1983, a prime example of someone who wasn't born in Texas but got here as fast as he could. My previous stops included newsrooms in Nashville, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines and Rochester, Minnesota.

I currently co-anchor the weekend newscasts: Saturday 6 & 9pm, Sunday 5 & 9pm. I also do a weekly travel and recreation feature called "Lone Star Adventures" and periodic documentary and special projects.

My wife Catherine and I live in Denton County, Texas with our college student daughter Kristina. Oldest son Nicholas, a decorated Naval veteran from the war in Iraq, is now out of the service, and attending medical school - Texas College of Medicine in Fort Worth. His wife Simone is an RN and working at Children's Medical Center in Dallas. Another adult son, Derek, is a talented artist who also lives and works in North Texas.
