Eric Bushman

bushman_crop-trns2Eric Bushman grew up in the Midwest, calling Ottawa, Kansas his hometown. It was there he landed his first radio news reporting gig while still in High School. He covered his hometown until moving on to covering Kansas City, Missouri at the age of 19.

Eric’s appreciation for history (And warmer weather) is what brought him to Dallas/Fort Worth as his favorite area of study is the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy and what followed over the next five decades.

Since joining the staff in the summer of 2012, Eric has won four Edward R. Murrow Awards. One for his coverage of the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy Assassination, for his reporting during the Ebola outbreak of the Fall of 2014, for his breaking news coverage of the July 7th 2016 Dallas Police Ambush, and for his coverage of the January 6th 2021 Assault on the U.S. Capitol.

Currently, Eric anchors the afternoon news on WBAP and KLIF as well as covering national politics.

In his spare time, Eric enjoys listening to music, specifically from from the 1970s and 1980s. He has no problem admitting a possible unhealthy appreciation for the rock band Genesis and the solo careers of both men who fronted the group: Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins.
