Katie started her broadcasting career as a part-time radio DJ at the age of 15. [4] While attending Arizona State University, where she was Fiesta Bowl Princess in 1999–2000, she moved her way up the radio chain and worked as a morning show radio producer for KISS-FM in Phoenix, Arizona. [4] One of her jobs in college was an internship at the Sports Fan Radio Network through the Association for Women in Sports Media, in 1998. [5] When she realized that morning radio meant waking up at 4 am, she moved to New York City where she became a reporter for the MTV political show "Choose or Lose".

[4] The Mark Cuban-founded channel re-branded from HDNet to AXS TV on July 2, 2012, where she hosted and executive produced "The World's Greatest Tribute Bands" for eight seasons from 2013–2017, [6] [1] [7] for which she won the CableFAX Program Award for "Best Host - Music" in 2017. [8] [9] Katie also contributes in a variety of hosting roles for the network. [10]
In 2017, Katie Daryl began developing an original count-down series for AXS TV called The Top Ten Revealed, where Katie and a rotating panel of experts put the spotlight on a diverse range of music topics including the best guitar intros, Vietnam-era anthems and more.
