Veteran sportscaster Mike Irwin has joined the Razorback Nation sports team.

In 1976, Irwin became the first television sports reporter to cover Razorback athletics on a daily basis from Northwest Arkansas. Over the past 37 years his name has become synonymous with cutting edge reporting and expert analysis of Hog athletics.

KARK, KNWA, KFTA & KARZ are proud to welcome him aboard.

"I have admired the Razorback Nation concept for quite some time," Irwin said. "If you do what I do for a living why would you not want to be a part of the largest television sports staff in Arkansas, one that is totally focused on bringing the very best coverage to Razorback fans? I am fired up to be a part of this team."
