UIYB with Steve Sullivan, KATV Sports Director

With forty years of experience as a sports broadcaster, Steve Sullivan is one of the most well-known faces and voices in Arkansas news. Born in Massachusetts as one of six children, Sully moved to Jonesboro, Arkansas for his education and made the state his home. Steve is currently the Sports Director at KATV, where he has covered sports for over two decades. Among his accolades are a distinguished media member award from the Arkansas Activities Association, Arkansas Sportscaster of the year (five times!), and an induction into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame. His most famous accomplishment is Friday Night Touchdowns, where Sullivan has delivered highlights from football games nearly every Friday evening since 1999. Despite having such a robust legacy, Sully is as humble as they come. He credits much of his success to luck, and freely insists that he is never the most talented person in the room - an observation which he finds energizing and inspiring.
