Ron Corning
Host, NTX NowRon Corning is a television journalist whose career has taken him from small鈥憈own studios to major-market newsrooms, and he joins NTX Now as co-host.
For eight years, Ron anchored Daybreak at WFAA in Dallas, becoming a trusted presence for North Texas viewers. He also anchored the station鈥檚 midday newscast and later helped launch Morning After, a video podcast-turned-daily show where he served as co-host and Executive Producer.
Ron grew up in a small Maine town with no cable, and PBS was always on, creating his early love of public media. When Ron was 14, his mother survived a traumatic brain injury,
an experience that profoundly influenced his understanding of vulnerability, strength, and the quiet challenges people carry. His professional path has been shaped by resilience and reinvention. In recent years, he has embraced new chapters, new platforms, and new ways of connecting with audiences.
Outside the newsroom, Ron is spontaneous and endlessly curious. He loves cooking without a plan, gardening, and discovering new hobbies. His very first on鈥慳ir opportunity came from the legendary Tom Bergeron, who put him on WBZ鈥檚 morning radio show as 鈥渢he intern.鈥�
After a decade in Uptown Dallas, Ron now lives in Oak Cliff鈥檚 Kessler Plaza neighborhood. He hopes his work on NTX Now helps listeners feel informed and connected, both to the issues shaping North Texas and to the people who make it vibrant.
