TC Media Now’s exclusive interview with former KSTP and KARE sportscaster Tom Ryther. A native of St. Louis, Tom came to KSTP in 1971 to head the station’s sports coverage, eventually being part of a KSTP news team earning record setting ratings that have yet to be matched. During this time Tom also hosted the Twin Cities version of Bowling for Dollars, recording over 500 half hour shows. In 1979 Tom joined station WTCN in it’s earliest days as an NBC affiliate. Best remembered today as the sports side of KARE’s news team of Paul Magers, Diana Pierce, and Paul Douglas, Tom has kept a relatively low profile since leaving KARE-TV in 1991. Listen to Tom tell his journey to the Twin Cities in his own words, as well as a final sign off he did not get to do on the air.
