==Radio and television== {{see also|Dallas Cowboys Radio Network}} {{as of|2010}}, the Cowboys' flagship radio station is [[KRLD-FM]].<ref name="k163">{{cite web | title=Dallas Sports Radio Station | website=Audacy.com | date=2024-07-31 | url=https://www.audacy.com/1053thefan | access-date=2024-08-05}}</ref> [[Brad Sham]] is the team's longtime [[sports commentator|play-by-play voice]].<ref name="h439">{{cite web | last=Moore | first=David | title=Brad Sham, voice of the Dallas Cowboys, on the mend after difficult offseason | website=Dallas News | date=2023-07-27 | url=https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/cowboys/2023/07/27/brad-sham-voice-of-the-dallas-cowboys-on-the-mend-after-difficult-offseason/ | access-date=2024-08-05}}</ref> Working alongside him is former Cowboy quarterback [[Babe Laufenberg]], who returned in 2007 after a one-year absence to replace former safety Charlie Waters.<ref name="b391">{{cite web | last=Engel | first=Mac | title=Dallas Cowboys radio analyst says grieving the loss of his son is a forever journey | website=Fort Worth Star-Telegram | date=2021-11-24 | url=https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/mac-engel/article255933501.html | access-date=2024-08-05}}</ref> The Cowboys, who retain rights to all announcers, chose not to renew Laufenberg's contract in 2006 and brought in Waters. However, Laufenberg did work as the analyst on the "Blue Star Network", which televises Cowboys preseason games not shown on national networks. The anchor station is [[KTVT]], the [[CBS]] owned and operated station in Dallas. Previous stations which aired Cowboys games included [[KVIL-FM]], [[KRLD (AM)|KRLD]], and [[KSPF|KLUV-FM]]. Kristi Scales is the sideline reporter on the radio broadcasts.<ref name="y846">{{cite web | last=Scales | first=Kristi | title=Replay: Kristi Scales answers Cowboys questions (10/31/18) | website=Dallas News | date=2018-10-25 | url=https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/cowboys/2018/10/25/replay-kristi-scales-answers-cowboys-questions-10-31-18/ | access-date=2024-08-24}}</ref> During his tenure as Cowboys coach, Tom Landry co-hosted his own coach's show with late veteran sportscaster [[Frank Glieber]] and later with Brad Sham. Landry's show was famous for his analysis of raw game footage and for him and his co-host making their NFL "predictions" at the end of each show. Glieber is one of the original voices of the Cowboys Radio Network, along with [[Bill Mercer]], famous for calling the ''Ice Bowl'' of 1967 and both Super Bowl V and VI. Mercer is perhaps best known as the ringside commentator of [[World Class Championship Wrestling|WCCW]] in the 1980s. Upon Mercer's departure, [[Verne Lundquist]] joined the network, and became their play-by-play announcer by 1977, serving eight years in that capacity before handing those chores permanently over to Brad Sham, who joined the network in 1977 as the color analyst and occasional fill-in for Lundquist. Longtime [[WFAA-TV]] sports anchor [[Dale Hansen]] was the Cowboys color analyst with Brad Sham as the play-by-play announcer from 1985 to 1996.<ref name="x852">{{cite web | last=Scales | first=Kristi | title=A funny moment between Dale Hansen, Brad Sham and Dallas Cowboys QB Troy Aikman | website=Dallas News | date=2017-02-09 | url=https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/cowboys/2017/02/09/a-funny-moment-between-dale-hansen-brad-sham-and-dallas-cowboys-qb-troy-aikman/ | access-date=2024-08-24}}</ref> Dave Garrett served as the Cowboys' play-by-play announcer from 1995 to 1997, when Brad Sham left the team and joined the Texas Rangers' radio network team as well as broadcast Sunday Night Football on Westwood One. Seeking to expand its radio broadcasting scope nationally, the Cowboys began a five-year partnership with [[Compass Media Networks]] on February 2, 2011. The result was the America's Team Radio Network, a supplement to the franchise's regional one.<ref>[http://www.rbr.com/radio/compass-signs-the-dallas-cowboys-for-new-network.html "Compass signs the Dallas Cowboys for new network"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110205233612/http://www.rbr.com/radio/compass-signs-the-dallas-cowboys-for-new-network.html |date=February 5, 2011 }}, ''Radio Business Report'', Wednesday, February 2, 2011</ref> Beginning with the 2011 season, [[Kevin Burkhardt]] and [[Danny White]] handled the broadcasts, with [[Jerry Recco]] as the studio host.<ref>{{cite web|title=Radio Broadcast Information|url=https://www.dallascowboys.com/audio/radio-broadcast-information|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=DallasCowboys.com|access-date=August 29, 2018|archive-date=August 29, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180829110033/https://www.dallascowboys.com/audio/radio-broadcast-information|url-status=live}}</ref>
