1949

Carey was on the original announcing staff of WCEN in Mt. Pleasant when it went on the air on August 8, 1949.

Later that year, he was part of the first broadcast ever made of a Central Michigan University football game.

1950

His broadcast career was interrupted in 1950 with the outbreak of the Korean War.

Carey was drafted in October 1950 and served in the Fourth Infantry Division, the first NATO division.

He was a squad leader staff sergeant in a weapons platoon.

1952

After completing his education and Army stint, he resumed his announcing and sportscasting duties at WCEN in October 1952.

1953

In April 1953, Carey moved to WKNX in Saginaw, Michigan, to become the afternoon disc-jockey.

He also worked on WKNX-TV and did the first on-camera commercial for that station.

During his stay at WKNX, Carey was program director of radio for two years.

1956

In June 1956, Carey joined the announcing staff at WJR in Detroit, Michigan, and worked there until his retirement in January 1992.

He was a staff announcer from 1956 to 1965, and became Assistant Sports Director in 1958.

1964

WJR was the flagship station for the Detroit Tigers Radio Network, and Carey produced the broadcasts for the network from 1964 to 1971.

1969

During his tenure, he did pre- and post-game shows for Detroit Lions radio broadcasts; served as a play-by-play announcer for Detroit Pistons basketball for six seasons (1969-70 through 1972–73, 1975–76, and 1981–82); and originated and hosted a Michigan High School football and basketball scoreboard program.

He was a member of the Associated Press All-State and ratings panel for 20 years.
