then moved to Los Angeles in 1984, where he started his broadcasting career a year later.

Full reasoning
This sentence reverses the sequence of events. Paramount’s official Wheel of Fortune release states that Thornton "began his broadcast career in 1983 at WOWK/TV while attending Marshall University" and that "a year later, he moved to California." Paramount’s current talent bio says the same thing. So he did not start broadcasting in Los Angeles in 1985; he had already started in Huntington, West Virginia in 1983 and moved to California afterward.
