Carter]] accepted a job as an advertising space salesman in Fort Worth. A few months later, he agreed to help finance and run a new newspaper in town. The ''Fort Worth Star'' printed its first newspaper on February 1, 1906, with Carter as the advertising manager,{{Citation needed\|date=February 2023}} and [[Louis J.

In November 1908, the ''Star'' purchased the ''Telegram'' for [[USD\|$]]100,000, and the two newspapers combined on January 1, 1909, into the ''Fort Worth Star-Telegram''. From 1923 until after World War II, the ''Star-Telegram'' was distributed over one of the largest circulation areas of any newspaper in the [[Southern United States\|South]], serving not just Fort Worth but also [[West Texas]], [[New Mexico]] and western [[Oklahoma]]. The newspaper created [[WBAP (AM)\|WBAP]] in 1922 and Texas' first television station, [[KXAS\|WBAP-TV]], in 1948.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/utarl/00128/arl-00128.html \|title=Fort Worth Star-Telegram Collection: A Guide ~~\|date=~~ \|website=University of Texas Library \|~~accessdate~~access-date=May 1, 2018 \|~~deadurl~~url-status=nolive \|~~archiveurl~~archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170911200726/http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/utarl/00128/arl-00128.html \|~~archivedate~~archive-date=September 11, 2017 ~~\|df=~~}}</ref> In August 2024, the newspaper announced it will reduce its number of weekly print editions to three a week: Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Davisson \|first=Matthew \|date=2024-08-02 \|title=Fort Worth Star-Telegram to scale back print publication to 3 days a week \|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/star-telegram-to-scale-back-print-publication-to-3-days-a-week/ \|access-date=2024-08-02 \|website=KTVT \|language=en-US}}</ref> ==Market== The ''Star-~~Telegram’s~~Telegram's'' circulation area is the Fort Worth/Arlington metro area (four counties) and 14 surrounding counties.

The Fort Worth/Arlington metro area is the western part of the fourth-largest U.S. metropolitan area, the Dallas/Fort Worth/Arlington Combined Statistical Area.
