Broadcaster Mark Friedman Obituary and Funeral Details (Marks Memorial Service )

April 2024 · 2 minute read

Longtime Dallas sports radio host and producer Mark Friedman, known by friends, listeners and coworkers as “Friedo,” has died.

Friedman’s brother announced the news in a Facebook post on Monday.

Friedman spent over two decades working in Dallas sports radio, starting at 570 KLIF in 1994 and eventually joining host Norm Hitzges in moving to 1310 The Ticket [KTCK-AM] in 2000, where he worked as a producer on Hitzges’ mid-morning show. Friedman had also been serving as the editor and digital producer for Hitzges’ new podcast.

“It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of my brother’s passing,” Joel Friedman posted on Facebook. “Many of you knew about his health battle over the past several years, and he had been doing remarkably well considering everything he had gone through.”

Friedman had suffered a bout of double pneumonia in the summer of 2020, an ordeal that he detailed thoroughly on The Ticket’s “The Hardline” afternoon show in February of 2021.

In 2016, Friedo founded FriedoNation Productions, an audio production business that specializes in spoken word podcasts.

A graduate of Stephen F. Austin, Friedman also volunteered as a coach with Special Olympics Texas and was a board member on the Allen Fairview Chamber of Commerce, where he “served the community of Allen with enthusiasm and passion,” according to his brother.

Several members of both the Dallas and the national media have posted thoughts and reactions to Friedman’s death on social media.
