Reagan took a job in Davenport, Iowa, as a sports broadcaster for four football games in the Big Ten Conference.[31] He then worked for WHO radio in Des Moines as a broadcaster for the Chicago Cubs. His specialty was creating play-by-play accounts of games using only basic descriptions that the station received by wire as the games were in progress.[32] Simultaneously, he often expressed his opposition to racism.[26] In 1936, while traveling with the Cubs to their spring training in California, Reagan took a screen test that led to a seven-year contract with Warner Bros.[33]
Reagan arrived at Hollywood in 1937, debuting in Love Is on the Air (1937).
