It's well-known 'round these parts that when it comes to sports-talk radio, we're partial to KTCK-AM (1310, The Ticket). But for those who prefer their X's and O's in FM, here's some personnel news from ESPN's local radio affiliate: Weeknight host Mike Taylor, who locks down the 7-9 p.m. time...

It's well-known 'round these parts that when it comes to sports-talk radio, we're partial to KTCK-AM (1310, The Ticket). But for those who prefer their X's and O's in FM, here's some personnel news from ESPN's local radio affiliate: Weeknight host Mike Taylor, who locks down the 7-9 p.m. time slot and co-hosts the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Cowboys post-game shows, is departing ESPN for The Ticket. Only, it ain't Dallas' Ticket -- nope, try the one down in San Antonio, where Taylor says he'll be hosting the 3-6 p.m. weekday slot in two weeks, as well as Spurs pre-game shows. Good luck, Mike, we hardly knew ya. Seriously. --Robert Wilonsky
