[1] Taking Graner's place was another local sports anchor, Jim Mueller, who served with Shanley for the remaining decade of his career with the Browns.
Shanley's tenure in Cleveland television began on WKYC as a weekend sportscaster, but flourished once he took over as sports director on WEWS in January 1967.
Shanley's duties at the station would also later include hosting a weekly Browns highlights show, "Quarterback Club" until 1976.
Unable to find steady work (outside of serving as a play-by-play substitute during Los Angeles Rams games in 1985), Shanley eventually returned to Cleveland, becoming sports director for independent station WUAB-TV channel 43's then fledgling 10 p.m. newscast in 1988.
In 1996, Shanley became guest commentator on the weekly sports wrap-up/NFL coverage and commentary show "Countdown to 99" that was hosted by Casey Coleman and former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Reggie Rucker.
