If I recall correctly, he was in the WCVB sports department (weekend anchor) before moving to news. I vaguely recall that he co-anchored the nightly 5:30 edition with Heather Kahn. Remember her? That might have been in the early days when they first started the "new" 5pm and 5:30pm broadcasts. Chet and Nat at 5 and 6, Heather and Brian at 5:30. Heather was considered to be the next Nat. Maybe Brian was considered to be the next Chet. But then, somewhere along the line, Anthony Everett came along and he was considered to be the next Chet. Then Brian left. Or something like that.
