Chris heard colorful stories from the reporters that frequented the restaurant, and decided to become a reporter himself, graduating from the University of Georgia's School of Journalism in 1962. He was a member of Alpha Tau Omega. He was asked to change his last name from Botsaris to Clark before joining WALB in Albany, Georgia in 1961, and would go on to anchor and report the news at WAII-TV in Atlanta (now WXIA-TV) from 1964–1966, until an executive from WTVF (then called WLAC-TV) invited him to Nashville to interview for lead news anchor. He would serve as lead news anchor from 1966 until his retirement on May 23, 2007.
