Darrell Franklin is now the anchor of Fox, Texoma's News @ 9 on KJTL. While much of his time is devoted to that, Darrell also reports for KFDX.

He was hired in February, 1992, as a studio camera operator. A year later, he was directing weekend newscasts. Darrell moved from production to the newsroom in January, 1994. Then, during the summer of '96, he was asked to co-anchor the weekend newscasts. Darrell continued to do that and report on stories from around the region until October, 2005, when he moved over to Fox.

Darrell earned his degree in Mass Communications at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, and grew up in Iowa Park. He graduated from Iowa Park High School in 1988. His interests while growing up included band, jazz band (trumpet), and tennis. Darrell and his wife, Kelly, have three children: Connor, Kamryn, and Collin. In his time off, Darrell enjoys his kids, BBQ, and watching sports while spending time with family and friends.

Darrell, on the Spirit of Texoma: "It's evident to anyone who takes pride in the heroes, legends, and lasting beauty found here. It's the people before us who made Texoma great, and those who will step up to do the same tomorrow."
