He left WDIV in the mid-1990s to join WCBS-TV in New York City, only to return two years later after being fired from WCBS-TV along with several other anchors and reporters. At WCBS, one of his more popular features was Monday night's "Weekend at Bernie's", a recap of the past weekend's more interesting or odd sports highlights.
