The Dallas native knew he wanted to be a sportscaster since the age of 8, after a few seasons of frequenting Cowboy and Rangers games with his father. “That is, if the whole playing in the NFL thing didn’t work out,” Mike Barnes laughs. After graduating from UT, Barnes did his time at a station in Aggie country (Bryan) before coming to Austin in 1989 as the main sportscaster for KVUE-24 News.
