True Blue DFW Business of the Day
News anchor Scott Sams and Blue Ribbon News recently concluded their True Blue Business Recognition Series, which aired weekdays on KRLD NewsRadio 1080. We continue to shine the spotlight on these True Blue Businesses at BlueRibbonNews.com.
Before joining KRLD NewsRadio 1080 in the summer of 2011, Scott Sams spent four years as morning anchor for CBS 11, and nearly 20 years with WFAA-TV Channel 8. As an Emmy Award winning TV talk show host, Scott has interviewed hundreds of national and international leaders, politicians, celebrities, authors, and hometown folks.
Scott is a second generation broadcaster; his parents were on television throughout the 1950s and 60s. He started his broadcast career at age 14, working at a small radio station near his hometown of Knoxville,TN. After five years at various radio stations, Scott spent the next 34 years in television as a weather, sports and news anchor.
Scott recently returned to his roots in radio as KRLD’s lead anchor, joining Mike Rogers and Alice Rios for the morning drive, 5 to 10 a.m. weekdays. A trusted source in North Texas for more than 80 years, KRLD offers all news, traffic and weather on the 8s, sports at :15 and :45, business at :25 and :55.
Scott served as the host of the True Blue DFW Business Recognition Series on select weekdays. Each interview segment recognizes a select local company that is “doing business right.” He talks with our hometown’s best businesses and the people who make them a success. His in-depth interviews are filmed and featured in full at BlueRibbonNews.com.
When Scott is not on the air, he and his wife, Lisa, are very active in their church. They’ve been married for more than 25 years, and they’ve called North Texas home since 1985 – living in Lake Highlands, Frisco and Plano. They’ve served on boards of prison ministries, hospitals, and local charities.
