"We are very excited to add Tom to our already great team here in Dallas/Fort Worth, and look forward to his contribution in making 105.3 The Fan an even greater sports station," said GM David Henry.

"Building a great sports station in one of America's great sports cities is a challenge I am looking forward to," added Bigby. "Ask anyone who knows me and they will attest to my passion for this format. I bring that same enthusiasm to Dallas/Fort Worth and look forward to working with Gavin Spittle to build a station second to none."
