From 1978-1984, he called Kansas Chiefs games for KCMO Radio before being hired as the voice of the Bears in 1985, a job he held until being hired to call Packers’ games in 1999. In recognition of his exemplary broadcast work, Larrivee was four times named the recipient of the Midwest Emmy for his coverage of the Bulls. In 1998, he was named Illinois Sportscaster of the Year.
