Career
Morrison began his broadcasting career as a combat correspondent while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. He was a radio disc jockey and news anchor and reporter while stationed on Okinawa, Japan, in the early 1990s. As a civilian, Morrison began his career at WGMC-TV in Worcester, Massachusetts. He later worked in Springfield, Massachusetts, and Hartford, Connecticut.
In 1999, Morrison began a nine-year period at WNBC, a local broadcast-television station located in New York City, New York, and the flagship station of the NBC broadcast-television network. He started as a co-anchor of Weekend Today in New York, the station's weekend edition of Today in New York, its early-morning, local-news-and-entertainment television program. In 2001, Morrison moved to the station's weekend-evening newscasts.
In 2004, he was made a co-anchor of the weekday edition of Today in New York, alongside Darlene Rodriguez, and stayed in that position until 2008 when he left the station. During Morrison's time with WNBC, he also served as a correspondent for NBC News, as well as a news reader for Weekend Today, also an early-morning, news-and-entertainment television program and a production of NBC News.
After leaving WNBC and NBC, Morrison wrote a blog, "Daddy Diaries — Confessions of a Stay-at-Home Anchorman", which was published on The Huffington Post, a news website and content-aggregating blog.
In 2009, he joined WCBS, a local broadcast-television station also located in New York City — and the flagship station of the CBS broadcast-television network — where Morrison has anchored the station's morning and evening weekend newscasts. On December 20, 2010, an article in the Daily News reported that he will co-anchor — with Mary Calvi — the weekday editions of CBS 2 News This Morning, the station's early-morning news program.
Morrison has extensive overseas reporting experience including assignments in Iraq, Afghanistan, Qatar and Haiti.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”

“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
