Radio and Television
In 1994, after leaving his radio show at KLIF in Dallas, Bayless helped start the city's first sports talk radio station, KTCK Sports Radio 1310, "The Ticket.", becoming the primary host on the 6–9 a.m. morning show for two years. As "the Ticket" became one of the country's most successful sports stations, the ownership decided to accept a lucrative offer to sell the station, and the new ownership bought out Bayless' contract, ending his tenure.
Bayless has occasionally substituted as host for syndicated radio program The Jim Rome Show. He has also previously contributed to ESPN as a recurring panelist on The Sports Reporters, NFL Prime Monday (now ESPN Monday Night Countdown) in the 1990s, and Jim Rome is Burning. For three years (1998–2001), Bayless was a contributor at major championships for the Golf Channel.
Skip was also a regular on ESPN Radio's first national show, The Fabulous Sports Babe, and later co-hosted a weekend show on ESPN Radio with Larry Beil. He was also a regular on Chet Coppock's show on Sporting News Radio.

Famous quotes containing the words radio and/or television:
“All radio is dead. Which means that these tape recordings I’m making are for the sake of future history. If any.”
—Barré Lyndon (1896–1972)
“Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
