Early Life
Jim Lampley was born on April 8, 1949, in Hendersonville, North Carolina and was raised in both Hendersonville and Miami, Florida. His father died when Jim was just five years old, so his mother took it upon herself to introduce him to many sports. He graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1971 with a degree in English.
Lampley embarked on his broadcasting career in 1974 when ABC chose him, along with Don Tollefson, in what they called a talent hunt. It is true that he entered ABC thanks to his youthful looks, but it was his talent that made him cover such events as baseball games, the 1986-87 Indianapolis 500, several Olympics, as well as the program Wide World of Sports. Next, he landed a broadcasting job at CBS in 1987 through 1992, when Lampley moved to NBC.
