From 1979 to 1982, and again from 1990 to 1997, Scully was also the lead announcer for CBS Radio's World Series coverage. Between television and radio, he has called all or part of 28 World Series — more than any other announcer.

Like Barber and Mel Allen in the 1940s, Scully retained his credentials in football even as his baseball career blossomed. Scully called National Football League games from 1975 to 1982 for CBS television. One of his most famous calls is Dwight Clark's touchdown catch in the January 10, 1982, NFC Championship Game, which put the San Francisco 49ers into Super Bowl XVI.

Scully also anchored the network's tennis and PGA Tour golf coverage in the late 1970s and early 1980s, usually working the golf events with Pat Summerall, Ken Venturi, and Ben Wright. From 1979 to 1982, he was part of the team that covered the Masters for CBS. He has also done golf coverage for NBC and ABC television.
