Well, I'm checking all the articles about him that were written in 
the Boston media, and Celtics articles are nowhere to be found yet-- 
but I am still looking.

In mid August 1991, when he joined WEEI, the press release said 
"Radio station WEEI, which is changing to an all-sports format on 
Sept.3, again raided WHDH yesterday [12 August] when they hired 
morning-drive sports anchor Dale Arnold to host the 10 a.m.-to-1 
p.m., Monday-through-Friday slot.

"I'm thrilled that they gave me a chance," said Arnold, who was 
brought to WHDH three years ago to handle play-by-play duties with 
the New England Patriots. "Of all the cities in the country, I've 
always thought that all-sports programming could go in Boston. If 
you're going to do talk radio, you do either politics or sports and 
there's enough people doing politics in this city already."

Arnold moved into the WHDH morning-drive slot when the Patriots 
changed stations to WBZ. His talk show host experience expanded over 
the past three years when he filled in for Eddie Andelman, who 
preceded Arnold in jumping from WHDH to WEEI. He has now come full 
circle as he also hosts a Sunday morning talk show, focusing on 
football during the NFL season and thus competing with the Patriots' 
pregame lineup.... Arnold, a Maine native, has extensive play-by-play 
experience. In addition to his three-year stint with the Pats, he 
broadcasted AHL Maine Mariners games for seven years before doing a 
two-year hitch as the radio voice of the NHL New Jersey Devils."
