Chick Hearn Question

Hi Guys,

I hope one of you can help this geezer settle a bet. I've been re-reading Steve Springer's excellent Chick Hearn memoir and there is a quote in there from ex-Laker TV Producer, Bob Speck, saying that Chick started doing simulcasts in 1977. I think that is a typo. I can remember Chick simulcasting TV and radio much farther back than that. I am sure he was simulcasting in the late 60's. I know he started doing Laker radio broadcasts in the early 60's. I'd love to hear some opinions on that. Thanks.
