It was the end of an era for D-FW sports radio when Norm Hitzges, longtime host at Sportsradio KTCK 96.7 FM/1310 AM The Ticket, announced his retirement on June 15. He signed off on June 23. Luckily for fans of Hitzges’ work, he won’t be gone for long.
The Dallas Morning News reports Hitzges announced Wednesday evening that his new podcast, “Just Wondering...” would debut on Sept. 4. He will chat about sports, lifestyle, travel adventures with his wife, Mary, philosophy and stories. It will air five days a week.
Hi, Norm here...My new podcast, "Just Wondering..." debuts September 4th and airs 5 days a week. Sports, lifestyle, travel (with Mary), philosophy, stories, whatever. More coming soon…

“I don’t know how to say goodbye to you,” Hitzges told listeners over the airwaves in June. “I’ve thought about this for weeks now, and I don’t know how to say goodbye to you. Today, I am announcing my retirement. ... I want to assure you this is not health-related. So many of you have helped carry me through the last three years or so in which there were some serious health minutes, but it’s not health-related.”
Hitzges, 78, announced in 2020 that he had begun treatment for bladder cancer.
Hitzges hosted the “Norm and D Invasion” with Lewis since 2015, and his run at The Ticket has lasted more than 20 years. After working evenings and pioneering morning sports talk, he landed in The Ticket’s 10 a.m. to noon time slot in January 2000, replacing Chris Arnold.
