Times Free Press, a long‑standing newspaper in Chattanooga, has announced the debut of a weekly football program called 'TFP Weekend Six-Pack' that will run throughout the upcoming season.
The show is anchored by David Paschall, a veteran analyst with 37 years of experience covering both college and high‑school football, who brings a deep knowledge of team dynamics and player development.
Joining him are Malcolm Harris, formerly of ESPN Chattanooga radio, who contributes a fan‑centric perspective, and Stephen Hargis, the paper’s sports editor with more than three decades of journalism experience and multiple industry awards.
A High‑Tech Approach to Local Sports Storytelling
Produced in a state‑of‑the‑art studio equipped with 4K cameras and professional recording gear that was previously used by ESPN, the series combines crisp visuals with detailed graphics to enhance game breakdowns.
Each episode will air on Thursdays and be distributed across the newspaper’s website, its social‑media channels and YouTube, ensuring that viewers can access the content wherever they consume news.
Beyond game highlights, the program features interviews with coaches and players, offering insight into team strategies and regional storylines that involve Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
The technical setup allows the team to overlay real‑time statistics, player tracking data and custom graphics, creating a viewing experience that rivals national broadcasts while remaining rooted in local narratives.
By focusing on the teams that define the Chattanooga area, the series aims to give fans a deeper connection to the athletes and programs that shape the community’s identity.
