Jose Gant has been a staple of the WFAA sports department for the past 4 decades. He has served as photographer, editor, assignment editor, producer, field producer and assistant sports director over this span. There’s not a person in the market that knows as much about the North Texas’ sports scene, and is known (and loved) by as many athletes and coaches, former and current, as Jose. His nickname is the Mayor of Dallas/Fort Worth Sports Media.
No one can compete with Jose when it comes to mapping out the important stories and logistics that go into our sports coverage on any given day. While at WFAA, Jose has served as producer for the legendary sports anchors, and silver-circle members, Dale Hansen and Verne Lundquist.
Jose has covered Super Bowls, NBA Finals, World Series and Stanley Cup Finals.
Jose was part of the WFAA Sports team that broke the 1987 SMU Death Penalty Scandal that earned both a Peabody and duPont-Columbia Award. He continues to both shoot and produce award-winning sports content to this day.
After starting his career in Shreveport, LA in 1974, Jose moved to WFAA in 1980. He has been a true difference maker in sports coverage in the Dallas/Fort Worth market in those four decades. And he continues to be the ultimate team player with more connections than the most-sourced reporters.
Jose is a proud husband, father and grandfather.
