He then made another foray into television as a sports reporter for the Nine Network (in 1997 and 98). From 1998 – 2000 he also hosted an afternoon drive show on Melbourne's TTFM (now KIIS 101.1) with his future Temptation co-host Livinia Nixon. Also in 1998, he hosted a game show on Network Ten named Battle of the Sexes. Afterwards, he became a senior presenter on Australia's Weather Channel.
