The ''Star'' lost money, and was in danger of going bankrupt when Carter had an audacious idea: raise additional money and purchase his newspaper's main competition, the ''Fort Worth Telegram''. 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 |website=University of Texas Library |accessdateaccess-date=May 1, 2018 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170911200726/http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/utarl/00128/arl-00128.html |archive-date=September 11, 2017 }}</ref>

The ''Star-Telegram’s'' circulation area is the Fort Worth/Arlington metro area (four counties) and 14 surrounding counties. The newspaper's primary market is the four-county Fort Worth/Arlington metro area, as well as the Dallas and Fort Worth suburb of Grand Prairie. 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.
