KTVT in Dallas has told longtime Sports Anchor Steve Dennis that his services are no longer needed. 

After 16 years, Dennis' contract isn’t being renewed. He won't be back on the air. Way to respect the longtime employee, don't ya think? 

Dennis said he was kicked to the curb as he was getting ready to cover the Colonial golf tournament last week. Management said he was "no longer needed."

“I’m looking for work,” Dennis told the Dallas Morning News “The Cowboys season is bearing down on us and I have to be there.”

Dennis says that he was told by station management, “We love you but we are doing away with your position.”

KTVT GM Gary Schneider says “there was no issue with his performance” and the station is cutting back on sports coverage.
