Sid Waddell was still working with the BBC, and did not join Sky until the 1994 World Matchplay Championship.

When the darts split occurred in 1993 and Sky Sports took up coverage of WDC (later to become the PDC) tournaments, Lanning and Gwynne were chosen as commentators. The Darts Line opened the doors to the darts world, and before long Gwynne was commentating on darts tournaments for regional ITV programmes with Dave Lanning. In 19, Gwynne, with the help of darts entrepreneur Dick Allix, set up a darts phoneline service called The Darts Line, for which Gwynne provided darts news and tournament updates to a paid phone number that people would call. His first properly paid commentating job was covering Lancashire County Cricket Club matches for a phoneline-based service, Cricket Call. He moved onto local north-west football, and contributed darts coverage to a weekly show, Talking Sport. Gwynne's first media job was covering speedway at Belle Vue in Manchester for Piccadilly Radio in 1980. In the years that followed, he made occasional commentary appearances on Sky Sports during the early rounds of the PDC World Championship, though he did not do so at all in 2020 he did work extensively on Talksport's radio commentary of the event, however. Later in 2014, Gwynne began commentating on Eurosport for BDO darts tournaments, such as the Six Nations Cup, Winmau World Masters and the BDO World Championship. In 2014, he was inducted into the PDC Hall of Fame. The 2016 World Championship was his last tournament for Sky Sports. In February 2013, he announced he was to step down in the summer. Gwynne was a commentator for the PDC darts tournaments which air on Sky Sports. Upon leaving, he went into teaching, and taught English and was Deputy Housemaster (Fisher) at Moston Brook High School in Manchester. Gwynne was born in Shropshire in 1945 and moved to Manchester in 1957.
