During this time, while still in high school Ted started his broadcast career at KEPO, an ABC station in El Paso.
During the days at his agency, he did months and sometime years of DJ work on several local radio stations, including KLAV.
People in broadcasting in Vegas knew Ted and would call him when they got in a ‘pinch’ to fill in for them, and sometimes this ‘fill-in’ would last for a year or more.
