George William Dunham (born June 28, 1965 in San Antonio, Texas); is an American radio personality and member of the Dunham and Miller Show, heard 5:30-10:00 AM on sports radio KTCK 1310 AM [1] in Dallas, Texas. Dunham co-hosts the show with long-time friend and college roommate Craig Miller, as well as his co-host and stepson Gordon Keith.
A 1988 graduate of the University of North Texas, Dunham served as the football play-by-play commentator for the school's Mean Green Radio Network from 1994 until 2014. His first on-air experience was at KNTU, the University of North Texas campus radio station. His son was offered and accepted a football scholarship to attend UNT beginning in fall of 2010. Dunham is a 1983 graduate of Carrollton R. L. Turner High School.
Dunham started his professional broadcasting career at KRLD working as a sports reporter for Brad Sham and Chuck Cooperstein.
From 1999 to 2009, Dunham served as the public address announcer for the Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium. When the team moved to AT&T Stadium and changed flagship stations in 2009, he was replaced by local DFW DJ Jody Dean. This is referred to often on the Ticket, as several characters during skits will jokingly refer to Dunham as "Jody".
Dunham did color commentary and play by play for University of North Texas football and basketball games from 1990-2014.
He also provided play-by-play commentary for the Arena League's Dallas Desperados.
Dunham has twice been a finalist for National Major Market Personalities of the Year in the NAB Marconi Radio Awards.[2]
