In the mid-1980s, Eskin co-hosted with John DeBella on WMMR's "Morning zoo", their combination was advertised as "Sports Rock". On television Eskin helped launch Fox Station WTXF-TV's "Ten O’Clock News" as part of its original anchor team from 1986 to 1991. On radio, the "Sports Rock" format proved unsuccessful at WMMR. It began in the Fall of 1992 and lasted until the Spring of 1993. Soon thereafter, Eskin moved to WIP, whose station format would shortly become amongst the first full-time sports-talk radio themes in the United States.
