After graduation Mike worked for WIVK AM/FM Radio and WBIR-TV in Knoxville. He worked as the pregame show host for Tennessee radio stations that aired the Houston Oilers’ games in 1996. In 1997, when the team moved to Tennessee, he became the scoreboard host. He finally moved into the booth in 1998, the team’s second year in Tennessee, and became the color commentator.
