I can't pinpoint that though he may have started as early as the late 1960's..In February 1965 he had only been in Cleveland a few months, coming from Canada to specifically host the show that became Upbeat. He also hosted a short lived local game show, Quick As A Wink. They were probably trying to find more ways to use him at this time. Besides, there was not a lot of filmed sports reporting in the Mid-60's..It was easier to put someone in front of a camera to do sports..Not much more than reading a headline or two and giving scores..
